When did 'brah' replace 'bro' which replaced 'dude' ?

[slowthestone]

'Dude' is okay...it's an actual word.

'Bro' is okay...it's a hyphenated word thats been in wide use for decades.

But this 'brah' business...yeah, that one really is...stupid. It sounds stupid. It's even spelled stupidly.

I'm not going to say people that use it are stupid...prolly just your typical 'whats trendy today' type of person thats emulating the behavior of others.

I mean really...who besides Jackie Chan would make it sound like, 'whats up my brahtha?'

Right....no one.

We're in need of a movement, of a opening the eyes of those that have this notion that anyone that smokes pot has gone and made themselves stupid.

'Brah' is a serious detriment to that occurring. So please...stop dummying down the group...and start being smarter than the typical stoner image conservatives can point their uppity fingers at you for personifying. :thumbsup:

[zeebo phillips]

Whenever Dog the Bounty Hunter says "brah", it doesn't make me think of bro, it makes me think of an actual bra.

I agree, it shouldn't be used like that.

[amsterdammed]

dude!
never heard of 'brah' hopefully it doesn't start getting used in holland.
i like dude or mate, you can call a guy or gal dude/mate no problem
but bro or man has to be used for a guy

[zeebo phillips]

Seriously, think about it, calling someone a breast-nestling device.

I mean, I guess it could be an insult to girls like me since I hate bras. But whatever, calling someone a bra could be a compliment to a nerd who doesn't get any, maybe...

[orangeman]

I dunno about this bruh business but I have like a bunch of uncles and aunties (my grandma had 12 kids :p) but anyways I think it's a 70's thing because my uncles still call each other "bruhs" and shit.

[420Toaker]

yea i always either say dude or guy

Brah sounds pretty gay..

i hear you man, when i was little i used to call people dude and never their first name, now it's mostly bro with my good friends but if someone called me brah i would just start laughing "shaka brashkiii"

[Ganjasaurusrex]

Like Zeebo said,

I think it came from Dog the bounty hunter. Brah sounds silly.

Dude is about as far as I go.

[tootsie roll]

Did you REALLY have to post this?


I happen to agree with him. "Brah" is absolutely ignorant sounding. Unless one is speaking of a bra.

[SmokingPlatypus]

Didn't they use the word "brah" in Zoolander?

[FeastonThisSHITT]

It's common slang used by the ethnics in Hawaii, used my meth-addicts. It popularized from "Dog The Bounty Hunter".

It hasn't hit me here in Canada. I'm glad for it. Fuckin meth faggots.

[pokin smot]

brah is a word derived from brother, pronounced brahda by most Hawaiins living in Hawaii. so basicly the mainlanders just copied them

[crudemood]

haha i agree with the whole bra thing, why say something that sounds like bras!

[WeedGremblin]

When did anyone actually give a fuck is the real question.....

I dont know about you guys but I find it alot more respectful if you call someone by their goddamn name, thats what its there for, fucking use it!

[NightProwler]

I'd walk around holding tits up for a living. Women tits that is.
Someone: So what do you do for a living?
Billionfold: I hold tits up.
Someone: You lucky son of a bitch...


hahahahahhahaa

[Its a Plant]

Well I always knew about "brah" before that badass bounty hunter showed up. Most of the people that I see use it are these posin' ass wannabe thugs, or someone who wants to sound "cool", if that makes any sense. I personally don't like it b/c of just that.

Anyone I've ever heard say it was a pud, so keeping that in mind, I don't wanna be no pud.

I still like "man". I use that one the most. "Guy" is kind of weird to say, lol, I dunno that's just me, but it sounds stupid. Though when Trey Parker and Matt Stone say it in 'Baseketball', it's damn funny.

In short, don't use brahs to cover your dudes. Where's the man? ~

[WeedGremblin]

Dog the bounty hunter is not a badass. Isnt he like an ex-con that married a fat pig of a wife and got his whole family into bounty hunting?? lol


Hey could someone explain to me who in the hell decides when a word is outdated or when a word is "in". Also explain why you care?

[Oneironaut]

Didn't they use the word "brah" in Zoolander?
Yeah, they do, when that Hansel guy bumps into Zoolander.

Hansel: Excuse me, bra.
Zoolander: You're excused, and I'm not your bra!

[slowthestone]

Soon as you look up 'alot'....I'll explain some of the points and influences of what sort of things influence a culture's vernacular.

[slowthestone]

alot is not a word.

alot is not a word.



Spread that as if it's a gospel.

My inclination to be a grammar Nazi is barely restrained around these parts with the constant usage of 'alot'!

Ive tried 3 different dictionarys and they all keep telling me that your a dumbass:dance: :dance: :dance:

[hempilation311]

brah cant really be considered copied because it formed from bro like bro formed from brother... or similarily i guess. depends on your def of copy. its more like a surfer stereotyped version of bro

[slowthestone]

You're*

[WeedGremblin]

Did your english teacher molest you alot or something?

you get out alot?

get laid alot?

I didnt think so.....alot

:)

[shoi]

lol i love internet arguements....
the sad thing is: alot of ppl end up insulting themselves

[WeedGremblin]

ah its all in good fun mate

This is guy is too anal about grammar. When im high on a marijuana board, I could give a flying fuck about my grammar or what this anal douche thinks about it either...


I didnt have a proper place to stick in the word so here it is:

ALOT

[shoi]

i like slowthestone


but ima agree with u.... i hate wen i get ppl on my ass abt spelling and such shit since i cant do it :stoned:

[WeedGremblin]

I dont dislike the guy or anything because of his anal approach towards grammar, its not his fault.....blame the french? :-P

But yeah, its so silly to even care let alone go out of your way to correct someone when you should know they dont care. By all means correct me but if your that OCD then get help bro.

Oh ya slowthestone, you still havent answered as to why you care what words are "in" and "out". Just sounds like your a try-hard conformist whore who wants to be cool...

Who gives a fuck how you talk or what slang you use, people these days are way too anal about silly petty bullshit. There are more important things to bitch about you know....
:)

[make it legal]

brahs retarded. who actually says it. i think whoever does is mostly joking if they do

[MeatRulz]

I dunno Haiwains used it...

[slowthestone]

lol....I'm nothing remotely close to anal when it comes to grammar.

I'm just not lazy. As well as, high or not, my grammatical abilities and practices are the same.

Conformist? Moi?...I have to say....no one has ever associated me with conforming to anything. For sake of that I generally don't. So kudos to you for throwing out something I've never heard mentioned about me.

I should offer an answer about what sort of things occur from generation to generation that affect a people's varying dialects when I've been referred to as a sex toy? Maybe I'll consider it after you put a cherry on the top of the 'pretty please'...otherwise...nuh uh...not going to do it.

Speaking of OCD though...heres the part where we find out if Gremblin can walk away without having the last word.

Me, I'm off to bed...where theres a lady that not only lays me often...but i forever dragging me out to places.

btw...my senior year English teacher did indeed molest me. Well, that is if just being hard for a 40 something lady while she went to town on my young self counts as being molested.

Cheerz~

[Ammie]

dude!! havent u ever seen Dog the bounty hunter? they say brah all the time :D I think its a hawiian thing :D









oh snap! btw!!














whats up brah? ;) haahahahhahaa

[Its a Plant]

Yah WeedGremlin, you're killin' my buzz, brosef.

I, like many others, just gave their opinion on the subject at hand. That really doesn't mean any of us care all too much about it.

Hi Ammie! :p

SHOW
THE
L O V E ~

[WeedGremblin]

ahhhh keep your explination, it isnt anything to squabble over, I was just curious why you would even care. I dont have energy to care about petty shit like that.....

you win this time my friend.....


Until next time....

[Its a Plant]

Haha, no one wins ~

It's a tie.

Now let's go to Baskin Robbins and get some ice cream to celebrate that tie ~

[WeedGremblin]

Yah WeedGremlin, you're killin' my buzz, brosef.

sorry my breezy from another mumeezy

[dejayou30]

i like to use the word dude quite a bit. i have never and will never call anyone bro or brah.

[MeatRulz]

*cough* Broham *cough*

[Ammie]

Hi Ammie! :p



lol High brah :D

[Oneironaut]

Me too. The purity of our grammar blood will be ensured once we exterminate once and for all the grammar Jews, and invade grammar Europe with our mighty grammar armies to ensure plenty of living space for the great German grammar race.

[jamstigator]

I'm occasionally a grammar Nazi, although I try to restrain myself. I learned in history in college that when a civilization is due for collapse, the collapse is almost always preceded by extreme bastardization of the language spoken. So when I see English getting bastardized, well, ya gotta wonder, is our time almost over now too?

As far as bra, bro and dude go, I'm old, so I'm still a 'dude' dude. Heh.

Sadly, I recall conversations back in high school that consisted of using different inflictions of 'dude'.

Stoner: dude
Pothead: dood
Stoner: duude!
Pothead: doooo'd
Stoner: dood?
Pothead: dewd

etc etc...

Hey Jam...I'm thinking television and radio have gone and changed the rules quite a bit about what sort of slangs enter into the mainstream...speech by osmosis is practically unavoidable.

If you've ever been to a region/place that has an accent far outside your own...eventually...in short order at that...you've gone and begun sounding a bit like the locals.


Yo WeedGremblin...ya ya...all in good fun yo. One doesn't become a pro ball buster without getting their own bounced around along the way.

Nearly creeped me out when ya asked if I had been molested by an English teacher! :o

[growitandsmokeit]

I usually say mate or err slag... not to girls just guys otherwise I would have got a few slaps! Just something me and my mates start calling each other get a few funny looks from people though when I say 'alright you slag'

[JR77]

Maybe I'm a moron but I never heard 'brah' before...sounds stupid. And btw I hate when people say 'bro'....but to each his own!!

[Bong30]

Dont have me start saying Dude again.... It took me a decade to stop..

Brah............. is from hawaii..............its called piegon dialect

Bro........... is just short for brother.....Duh! LOL

Hey Dude, are we going over to your Bro Brahs house?

[canucktoker]

Meth is just another drug. Dog on the other hand is a mulleted white trash scum bag who manages to mix up the drug war, religion and horrible fashion into a half hour of made up fake ass drama. Bra.

I don't think I would have a problem being a breast nestling device. I mean that sounds kind of fun. I would nestle breasts all day long if I could.

I'm trying to pick up ladies. I think asking them in a friendly manner if I can nestle their breasts would be a good way to start, don't you think?

breast-nestler!!:dance:

:dance: horray for breast-nestlers!!

[d00d989]

.....since when was "dude" replaced?

oh thats right, it wasnt

[FeastonThisSHITT]

Lmfao, yeah that's a true statement right there. He tries to talk sense and family any religion to fucking METH ADDICTS! I don't mean to be prejudice against drugs but I have had too many bad experiences with fucking faggot ass tough talking meth heads.

I've been in shit with em all, coke heads, crack addicts, heroin abusers... but never have I seen a scourge worse than a fucking meth addict. A coke head will be cranky and tell you he's cranky because he has no coke. A meth head will beat you with a baseball bat because he feels like it, then smoke meth and call you later wanting to hang out and be friends.

[cuziwashigh420]

i still use dude, never say bro and refuse to say brah. its sounds stupid.

[FeastonThisSHITT]

I use "fuckhead" when I talk to my friends, sometimes they use faggot or "cheesedick" when talking to me. My friends and I are rude cunts to each other.

[ChronicMike]

Brah is a hawaiin thing...but who cares this thread is dumb.

[Oneironaut]

I'm a fan of "cockshitter" myself.

[SurfBud]

Brah in etymologically comes from Hawaiian Da Kine, or pigdin. It thens make sits way to Southern California, because SoCal is the coolest thing next to hawaii, and on down through the mainstream pollution of the OC and Laguna Beach.
