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:

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

[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...

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

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.
