OH YEAH

Hell yeah bruthur
Any "gender neutral" use of masc words sucks and should be beaten to death
With a stick, preferably. 
i just think of hulk hogan knocking down the towers
i think you're confusing hulkamania with george w bush !
"I'm the decider, and I decide what is best, brother!" - George W. Hogan
I am guilty of the opposite of just calling everyone "GRRRL" and I gotta remind myself to control the habit when I am around my trans masc and enby friends.
that sounds based though edit: obviously not when talking to masc/enbies
no
your a libberel
I remember when everyone suddenly started saying "my brother in Christ" a few years ago.
that has led to some fun abstractions though
i enjoyed "my nibling in baal" for a bit
"Jive turkey is the new skibidi"
allistics and not comprehending what people are saying because they immediately assume they have a perfect understanding of a strangers mind 
Based on the original post I promise I never assumed I could understand your mind.
so ur not complaining about older slang “replacing” newer slang? That seems to be the correct assessment to my autistic ass
I've been saying to myself "oh bro-ther" for years now I picked it up from my mom.
"Oh brother this guy stinks" is an essential part of the repertoire
that's different you're safe
Call everyone baby
It sure is, everyone is a bro, even your grandparents.
I guess if your dad is Oedipus?
Yes, your dad is your bro, but so is your mom, sister, ofc your actual bro. If you look in the mirror there's a bro staring back at you and if you go outside you wave to your bros next door before going to work.
Seriously though its some reflection of society, idk what kind, and makes me think of the Goodburger song but swap bro for dude. Anyway, brother is rare, I hear bro/bruh everywhere though.
kinda hoped sib would take off
"sure thing, friend."
"I'm not your friend, guy."
"I'm not your guy, pal."
"I'm not your pal, sport."
"I'm not your sport, son."
"I'm not your son, chief."
"I'm not your chief, dude."
"I'm not your dude, bro."
"I'm not your bro, man."
"I'm not your man, ace."
and on and on. had a roommate who taught me this "game", which would be triggered anytime someone referred to the other, absentmindedly, as a term like "buddy". the one who couldn't come up with the next random term immediately or laughed at the others' typically over serious delivery "lost".
a master bullshitter, she was from long island and was pretty fuckin good at it. very deadpan. none of our mutuals could keep it going for more than one or two, so if course found it all "fucking ridiculous".
I'm not your ace, buddy.
That’s how old Guatemalan men talk lol
Reject brother
Embrace bratan
but what when im talking to my brothers ?
Brother are you 5 minutes old?
Here kids have some culture
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
好，我会用《同志》称呼你
All of them are annoying. Okay black people can say brother but definitely not white people that's always annoying.
So what so you think of an ironic, "brah"?
