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

"Dont tase me bro" was when I felt like the word stopped being just a California beach bum thing and became everyone's go-to term for a person they don't know
