I’ve called a lot of people bro, but never my brother lmao
I’ve had to tell my daughter not to call me ‘bro.’ Not putting up with that.
Would you prefer bruncle?
To paraphrase Captain Janeway, “protocol with your friends aside, I don’t like being addressed as bro. Pop is acceptable in a crunch but I prefer Dad.”
My husband had the same talk with me.
Why do you hate fun?
Because I’m a father and it’s my job to ruin fun.
me and my wife call each other bro all the time
More than anything I think my wife and I call each other bitch lmao.
I call my brothers bruh, bro, guy, buddy, pal. But bro is 90% of the time.
Back when we lived together:
[noncommital grunt]
[noncommital grunt but with a girl’s voice]Now that we live far apart:
“You good?”
“Yea.”
[positive grunt]
[positive grunt but with a girl’s voice]Is first grunt genderless?
I’m going to put this one in my “likely aliens, so definitely aliens” list.
Something something “the fundamental source of women’s oppression is its [femininity’s] historical and social construction as the quintessential [other]”
Yes. I’m AMAB but like playing around with gender.

As someone with brothers, how do we greet each other? With violence.
I think I’ve called everyone bro except for my actual brother.
We call each other bro. The sister is also a bro
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. Cause we’re all dudes. Yeah!
Dude is a gender neutral term. It knows no age limit or maximum. It rejects no profession, it passes no judgement, but embraces all. It is all encompassing. Everyone that wishes to be a dude need not do anything other than reach insides themselves and embrace their dudeness. For we are all dudes.
I was gonna ask if you fucked dudes. But then I saw your user name, so never mind. Anyone out of the loop can just Google it.
Sour about your elected officials? Vote Lemon Party!
I’ve seen fliers to that effect all over Calgary
Duuude

this gives Folgers incest ad vibes
Fucking I wish, me and my brother stopped talking after we fought so much as kids and now that we’re adults every time we meet it’s like awkward conversation trying to rekindle something that was never there
Sorry to hear that. Must have been some pretty bad fights. Me and my brother (I am one year older) fought a lot when we was kids but eventually we grew out of it
Me and my siblings also fought a lot as kids, but as adults we’re closer than ever. Some people grow distant and some people grow closer with time, nothing you can do about it.
Yeah, its not like we’re not wanting to be make up, we just don’t seem to be wired that way
you gotta find an activity to do together. Something that takes the stress off and lets things fall out naturally.
When my sisters and I watched my mother and her sister fight bitterly when their mum was dying we resolved to never grow so estranged.
It’s not always been comfortable, but the biggest thing has just been to make sure we do things together. For us it’s cooking days where we teach recipes, board game days, sports practice, language practice, minding each other’s kids (mostly childless me hanging out with them and taking the stress off a bit). That sort of thing
I hope you can find something to lower the barrier with your bro :)
It always annoys me that people call each other by name in movies.
Yeah, it’s so you know who the characters are, but who actually does that in real life?
Imagine you’reblind and a new scene starts, and you dont know what characters are on set. You dont know who walks in halfway through the scene.
Helps a lot announcing every character in this way.
Lots of people in lots of cultures do… In fact, I call both of my siblings by name, and that’s the usual way of greeting hierarchically equal or inferior members of family in my culture.
My fam call by name all the time. In fact most of the time we miscall the name and bug each other over it. Sometimes we even flip through all the names before landing on the right one when addressing each other
Urdr-krist-bri-malomar(made up names for obvious reasons)
Then we bug our mom by going by each others names.
Occasionally we even call each others names backwards or add accents and hyphens to them.
I’ve called my kids by our pets’ names on occasion…
I do lol
Me. But I’m autistic so I don’t think I’m exactly a good snapshot of the general public.
I call my friends by name all the time. One of them walks into wherever we’re gathering, and I’ll call out Nick and give my boy a hug for example.
Pretty normal where I live tbh. Kids use each other’s names for each other 99% of the time. It would be ultra weird to use “brother/sister” in daily speech. That’s how it’s written in shitty books and TV novellas over here tbh…
What do you call them if not their name? 🤔
I call my sister “lil sis” even tho she is way older than me, maybe I am just stupid 💀
Or a hentai protagonist
Game is game 😭
This is what I call my BIL
We are out there!
I call my youngest sister ‘lil sis’. But then she mangled saying ‘big brother’ one day and it came out as ‘big bug’ and that was way into adulthood. It used to always be ‘big brother’ until that one fateful day.
We just use names
“The fuck are you doing here‽”
I call my sister ‘sis’ because it’s gender affirming for her.
When I was five or so, my older sister invented the word “cosweb”, convinced gullible-little-me it was the worst thing ever, and called me that for (what felt like at the time) months. She eventually just stopped. I didn’t figure it out until I was in grade six or something.
My Dad tries to encourage us to call our step-sibling Bro, and it ends up feeling weird because of exactly this - siblings just don’t talk like this.
I think you might not want to know what kind of porn your dad watches.
I laughed, but still downvoted you.
Same.
