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.

Bro used to be a thing guys called each other, as a short form of brother. The word seems to have morphed into something else entirely.

Are others observing this linguistic evolution?

I wish this was the only think I had to worry about...

Do they watch that TV show "COPS"? The cops call the suspects "BRO".

Its an annoying thing kids do. My tween dd calls me bro sometimes. I think its interesting though that these are the same kids obsessed with gender apppropriate labeling, preferred pronouns etc and but have no issue calling other girls and grown women "Bros"
