Everybody's going bro this and bruh that, but you're not my brother, dude 😒

It's not like either word is new but I feel like "bro" and variations like bruh or brah have become way more commonly used in the last decade among younger people as a term of address in contexts where I would have just said dude

if i had a nickel for every woman i've heard describe herself as "a silly little guy" i would have a bus fare.

also you should probably not use doritos for anything you'd use a plain tortilla chip for, because of all the shit on them. i'll allow exceptions for those "taco in a bag" things people usually do with fritos, and if someone does a better job than taco bell of making a dorito taco shell.

Yeah I mean I wouldn't use doritos first thing but they were talking about it like it's the dumbest most outlandish shit they've ever seen done with food and like, idk, it would work in pretty much any instance where the chili lime flavor isn't going to be overpowering and bad. There's way worse food crimes than considering a flavored nacho usable as a nacho yknow
