a contributing bro from minnesota!

The Following is an email I got:


Hi Shawn,

My name's Luke, I think we've met before, I'm a friend of Heather's. She showed me your brocabulary blog, I love it. I have an addition to offer:

Broletariat:

Broles for short. These are the blue-collar bros. Often members of bro unions, such as Minneapolis Brocal #21. Often thought to be communists, they're really just harmless brocialists.

-Luke.


------and then I got a follow up email as follows:----------



Also, a clarification on Brocialism:

It is the system of thought that naturally arose when too many bros found themselves saying "Hey man, that's not fair!" The Bromanian Brocialist party came dangerously close to the establishment of a police state, but it was defeated with cries of "don't taze me, bro!"

-Luke



One of the best submissions yet!!! Nice work Luke! (he must be a smarty pants bro! He used big Bro Words...)

gettin proper from Matt.

my buddy matt sent me an email...he's gettin all bro on me too!!!!!


Bro-noun

In linguistics and grammar, a bronoun is a bro-form that substitutes for a noun phrase (including a noun phrase consisting of a single noun) with or without a determiner, such as bro and broseph in English. The replaced phrase is the antecedent of the bronoun.

For example, consider the sentence "John told Alice he was a professional snowboarder." All three nouns in the sentence can be replaced by bronouns: "The bro told the bro ho he was a brofessional."


Now thats Proper bro-speak.

another addition...

so "Jibby Shredepenning" sent me another one for the list:

here was her email...


"I got a new word for brocabulary... swellbro like a bro after a fight he is all swollen cause he just got pounded!!!! similar to swellbow...
libster"

I would agree...simiilar to swellbow, but with a lot more "bro" maybe 'swellbow' with a side order of 'visor beanie'

is my wife a bro?

so Jeanette came up with a real good one yesterday...


Bro-Mitzvah: when a young jewish Bro besomes a man! It might even be when he learns how to speak He-Bro...

Bro.ra Spence.

So I sent the link to my friend Laura...(shes a total reference genius...) and she comes back with...

"Let me tap into my bro-lific word bank with all kinds of slanging bro-how and get back to you..."

and 45 minutes later she drops a bomb like this:

1) Barack Bro.bama: The original bro. The bro who's got bros in every possible area code.

2) bro.ken: Like, really broken. And not getting fixed till all the Cheetos are gone and 'The Simpsons' is over.

3) Bro.mer Simpson: The bro who's always looking for more bro.ugh (the stuff that buys the beer).

4) neighbro.hood: Where all the bros hang and greet each bro.ther in passing with, 'What up, Bro?'

5) mixed ebro.tions: Not knowing whether to hang out with one group of bros or another group of bros.

6) bro.pitch softball: The sport where the bros play together in bro.therly love (and pitch a little faster than the girls.)

7) eye.bro: The hair above a bro's eyes that's never getting plucked or shaved, even if it is a uni.bro

8) Bro.magnon Man: The bro.riginal bro. (Yeah, bro. Even BEFORE Bro.bama)

9) Bro.hemian Rhapsody: That awesome song by Queen that the bros sing in the car on the way to harass Officer Bro.harski and eat jelly bro.nuts.

"wheres BROophy? as in: Brosif i just won the snowboarder extreme rider dealy thing and won this brophy! im the best ever! i have this brophy to show off now."

Brophy: "What a bro wins when he gets first in a bro snowboarder contest." ex: Bro, I am totally gonna put this new brophy in my brophy room with all my other brophies and medals..."

And Another!
Thanks Zink!

Bronado: when you get too many bro's in a circle pit it can cause a bronado! Watch out!

one I thought of this morning, and then had confirmed by Zink is:

Broulder, CO: The wonderful city that hosts bros, hippies, bros, ugg boots, bros, frats, bros, satellite, bros and football!!! Yeah Sports! ex: "Bro, I am totally gonna go to CU Broulder for school, they got hotties, bro parties, and lots of weed bro. I love Broulder!"

even more brocabulary.

so, I found out that I am not the only one who uses the term "Brocabulary." In fact there are lots of people that use it...and even more people that have lists of Brocab online.

Here are a few more...some of my originals...some from other sites...

Bronneville: The newest car from Pontiac...its designed for Bro's...

Bro-Mobile: Either yer bro's whip, or a bro vehicle used to get you deep into the backcountry for a serious Brodeo. ex: Bro, can I borrow your bromobile to go build a kicker in the backcountry?"

Hebrow- The language that jewish Bro's speak! ex: What does it say on that bro's Mennorah? I don't know man, I don't speak Hebrow."

Broquet: A gift of flowers for a bor (maybe purchased at Broflowers.com) OR a lawn game played with your bro's.

Brotest: a time when bro's form together to get loud and make a point. ex: "Bro, I am gonna go down to Taos and brotest the ban on snowboarding."

Bro-Do: (pronounced Bro-dough) this is a local place in Denver...(LoDo) where many a Bro is seen on a friday night!

Bronasium: the place where the bros go to flex, play basketball and shower with dudes...gross!

Bromageddon: The day when all the bro's for together and form one big BRO and take over the world...I think Ben Afflec is in this one?

Brofessional: a pro bro. A bro who is in a tie by day but likes to bro down at night! (often spotted at Cell Phone kiosks in the mall.) Often heard from a brofessional: "Hey bro, what cell plan do you have?"

Bronocchio: What you call a bro liar.

Broner: When a bromance goes too far and your bro's call you out! "bro, go easy on the bro-crush..I think yer getting a Broner over Bam!"

Bronoculars: what you use to safely view bro's at a distance. ex: "bro, the only way to scope out BroDo is from coors field with some bronoculars"

a short "bro" story.

while walking into the Snowboard trade show in Las Vegas in January (which happened to share an exit hallway with a computer nerd convention) I saw two guys in suits talking...one guy said to the other, "like totally, bro...sick!" and then the other guy said in response to that, "Seriously, that is how they ALL talk!" ..............amazing!

Brocab. Get yer Learn on...

Lets start at the top...

"Bro.cabulary" (see also "Brocab"): words used near or around bros. A way of fitting in with the bros.

Its great...its awesome... BRO words that you can share with your friends whenever you may happen upon a "brodeo".

a few examples off the top of my head:

Brodeo: a gathering of bro's ex: " I am so stoked for the Brodeo at the XGames this year"

Bro-Away: A bit of a stretch, but it is basically something you might say to a bro that is in on an unwelcomed bromance with you ex: "Bro, I don't want to listen to Dave Matthews and plax X Box, BRO-AWAY!!!"

Bromance: a loving relationship between two bros..not gay though...(similar to a man crush...straight dudes can have man crushes) ex: "I really love that dude...hes a real bro...in fact I think there might be a bit of a bromance in the works."

Bromania: the country where most Bro's want to reside...

Broseph: the long extended version of BRO.

Broseph Smith: the founder of the Bro-man Religion...

Bro-Mans: They may come to your house dressed in Tall Tees with their face covered in a Neff Neck Rag....don't worry, they are known to be really really nice...almost scarey nice! ex: Why do Bro-mans always travel in two and wear Bike helmets?

Bramen Noodles: the food of choice of a Bro. They are like 15 cents a piece and you can nuke em. Ex: "Bro, I spent all my money on Visor Beanies, all I can afford to eat is Bramen Noodles."

Bro.keback Mountain: What happens when the Bromance goes too far...

Brohemian Rhapsody: the anthem of all the bros! When it comes to the headbanging part look around the bar and count the bros doing any sort of Wayne's World Reference...

Bro ho's: The ladies that tend to cling to Bro's...often strippers. (especially the MX Bro Ho's)

Bro.nanza: similar to a Brodeo, but can be used to described bro situations as well. Ex: "what! Tall tees 50% off...its a real Bronanza!" or "I am up to my eyeballs in this Bronanza, I think I am sick of Sniagrab."

Bronesia: When you forget a bro's real name and you call him "Bro." Ex: "What up Shawn G?!? What up...uh...Bro?"

Skate-rosexual: although this word doesn't have BRO in it, it is a great word meaning the type of bro that is very focused on what to wear, how to wear it in order to be a skate bro.
