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

'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:

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.

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

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...

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"

Like Zeebo said,

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

Dude is about as far as I go.

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

hahahahahhahaa

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? ~

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?

Yeah, they do, when that Hansel guy bumps into Zoolander.

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

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.

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:

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

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:

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....
:)

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

I dunno Haiwains used it...

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~

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

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 ~

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....

Haha, no one wins ~

It's a tie.

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