it's so annoying lmao please stop

edit: people don't really seem to get what i'm referring to.

people will say things like "my guy, you're literally advocating for authoritarian communism"

which is identical to "brother, you're literally advocating for authoritarian communism"

i dont like it!

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

"sure thing, friend."
"I'm not your friend, guy."
"I'm not your guy, pal."
"I'm not your pal, sport."
"I'm not your sport, son."
"I'm not your son, chief."
"I'm not your chief, dude."
"I'm not your dude, bro."
"I'm not your bro, man."
"I'm not your man, ace."

and on and on. had a roommate who taught me this "game", which would be triggered anytime someone referred to the other, absentmindedly, as a term like "buddy". the one who couldn't come up with the next random term immediately or laughed at the others' typically over serious delivery "lost".

a master bullshitter, she was from long island and was pretty fuckin good at it. very deadpan. none of our mutuals could keep it going for more than one or two, so if course found it all "fucking ridiculous".

I remember when everyone suddenly started saying "my brother in Christ" a few years ago.

[-] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 20 hours ago

that has led to some fun abstractions though
i enjoyed "my nibling in baal" for a bit

"Jive turkey is the new skibidi"

allistics and not comprehending what people are saying because they immediately assume they have a perfect understanding of a strangers mind i-cant

[-] mrfugu@hexbear.net 1 points 3 hours ago

so ur not complaining about older slang “replacing” newer slang? That seems to be the correct assessment to my autistic ass

[-] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 14 points 20 hours ago

Based on the original post I promise I never assumed I could understand your mind.

Hell yeah bruthur

Any "gender neutral" use of masc words sucks and should be beaten to death

[-] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 5 points 20 hours ago

With a stick, preferably. kim-blood

[-] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 8 points 20 hours ago

It sure is, everyone is a bro, even your grandparents.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 2 points 15 hours ago

I guess if your dad is Oedipus?

[-] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 2 points 13 hours ago

Yes, your dad is your bro, but so is your mom, sister, ofc your actual bro. If you look in the mirror there's a bro staring back at you and if you go outside you wave to your bros next door before going to work.

Seriously though its some reflection of society, idk what kind, and makes me think of the Goodburger song but swap bro for dude. Anyway, brother is rare, I hear bro/bruh everywhere though.

I am guilty of the opposite of just calling everyone "GRRRL" and I gotta remind myself to control the habit when I am around my trans masc and enby friends.

[-] amazonshopper@hexbear.net 8 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

that sounds based though edit: obviously not when talking to masc/enbies

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago

I've been saying to myself "oh bro-ther" for years now I picked it up from my mom.

[-] Chana@hexbear.net 15 points 23 hours ago

"Oh brother this guy stinks" is an essential part of the repertoire

[-] amazonshopper@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

that's different you're safe

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 4 points 20 hours ago

Reject brother

Embrace bratan

[-] Lussy@hexbear.net 4 points 22 hours ago

Brother are you 5 minutes old?

[-] 9to5@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

but what when im talking to my brothers ?

[-] miz@hexbear.net 1 points 20 hours ago

好,我会用《同志》称呼你

[-] Chana@hexbear.net -1 points 23 hours ago

All of them are annoying. Okay black people can say brother but definitely not white people that's always annoying.

So what so you think of an ironic, "brah"?
