| My 13 year old uses both bruh and bro. Some of her sentences when referring to me go like this: "Bro thinks she is ...." |

| My 1st graders call each other bro or bruh, girls and boys both. So it's got to be on its way out. |

We’d probably be friends in real life. My husband and I practically have our own language. Our teen is strait laced and barely uses slang. |

+1 And the local flavor du jour includes a particular specialization of a well-off HS whose (mostly white) male students have a certain air about them (haircut, clothes, shoes, speech, sport). They are called [insert HS name] Bros -- and it's generally derogatory. Everyone else falls within the bro/bruh/gurl category with no consistency to biological gender. Like a PP, I'll be lost on the current lingo when the last one heads for college. Whatever. Or is it what'ev's? |

| my 12 daughter calls me bro! I told it was anti-feminsit since the boys don't also use "sis" for each other. I knew she would find me very annoying and she stopped calling me bro to save herself a lecture on language and mysoginy |

I have heard this over the summer when we were in California. I think it's "bru." A reactionary word teens use for shortening their expression. Kinda like what the heck.
