"Bro, man, dude" Do you say it?

[gibboss28]

I say dude, man, mate and brother depending on who i'm speaking to though, namely the few friends I actually consider to be like brothers to me.

Recently I realized that I start to say things ironically and then they legitimately join my lexicon.

While I have always said "dude" and "man" I recently realized that I say "word" and "bro" more and more often. At first it was just as a joke, but now I sincerely say these things.

So long story short, anyone else say "bro, man, or dude"?

Also are there any words you used to say for ironic purposes that you now say legitimately?

I say man quite a bit in conversation, it's a casual word I use in place of the old fashioned "pal" and you could even toss it out to a stranger. But I have some interesting thoughts on the word bro. I think the word bro evolved as a way for our touchy generation to be able to say to their friends "I love you man" without having to feel awkward about it. I mean when you call someone a "bro" or brother, or give them a "bro hug" what are you really expressing? It's like Louie said: "I see friends, shaking hands saying how do you do..."

I use all three. "Bro" less regularly, though.

I say "dude" all the time.

However, I was part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles generation, so I think it should be allowed.

Dudeeee.

 

[Fetzenfisch]

the occasionally dude slips out sometimes. Bro is only used ironically. What kind of douche uses that one seriously?

 

[Kevlar Eater]

Dude: Yes
Man: Yes
Bro: Hell no

 

[Jevgenij Stepanov]

I say Dude to my Girlfriend quite often, and I say Man sometimes when talking to collegues. But not Bro, never did say Bro.

 

[OmniscientOstrich]

I often write dude in text form and sometimes vociferate it but in an English accent dude just sounds a little wierd, I say man quite a lot but can't recall anytime I've said bro.

 

[artanis_neravar]

I use man and dude often and only use word to annoy my friend, i don't think i ever say bro but every once in awhile i will say bra...or is it brah

 

[SilentCom]

I normally just say dude. I've never really seriously said bro or man out loud.

 

[Alon Shechter]

I call my spider "Bro" all the time. Does that count?

 

[NnyTheV]

I say dude and man. I'll say bro on occasion but usually it'll follow "Why you mad"

 

[Belluavir]

I might say things like that if I feel threatened or I'm talking with certain people or I'll say it ironically, but I don't make a habit of it, that kind of language doesn't suite me.

I actually used them the same way as you. I used to think bro was hysterically lame, but now I use the word as well in everyday use. Same goes for word. WHATS HAPPENED TO ME?! Oh yeah, I actually stop being a pompous dick about words. haha

 

[Just_A_Glitch]

I say "dude" pretty frequently, and "man" occasionally.

I say "bro" to piss off a female friend of mine. She hates it. Thinks its douchey. Hilarious.

Happens to me all the time.

 

[ezeroast]

Yea I say 'man' but only 'bro' and 'dude' when I'm joking

 

[Always_Remain]

I used to used dude and man a lot when I was younger but now I don't use them that much. I use Bro a lot now, mostly ironically, because of TTGL and Homestuck. When I use bro, I usually stick something on the end of it. EX: Broseph, Broyoma, Brobasaur, etc.

 

[Doctor Insanovic]

I say "man" fairly often, but not heaps. I use the New Zealand form of "bro" (pronounced as "brew") a lot. Me and my friends just love imitating the New Zealand accent so much that that one has slowly just become a part of my normal vocabulary and probably sounds retarded to people that don't know me. It's gotten to the point where most of the time I don't even realise I'm talking in a fake NZ accent.
"Dude" on the other hand just feels so wrong coming out of my mouth. I can't even bring myself to use it ironically.

 

[StBishop]

Dude guy. As a phrase. Like you're not a dude, you're not a guy, you're a dude-guy.

I say man, mate, bud, buddy, fella, dude,

Also lol. I was saying it ironically for the longest time the first time I heard someone say "lol" on vent. I thought it was the most hilarious.

I say Brah, Bro, Bru, Man, Mate, Bud, Buddy, Fella, Dude, Hombre, Broseph, Brosephine, Brosidon king of the Brocean, Brotankhamen, you hit that out of the Atbrosphere, brobility, brovercome, broficiency, brofessional, brole model, brotocol, Rambro, beyond rebroach, brototype, Brobi Wan Kenobi, Shaquille BrO'neil, brokemon, broletariate, Mt. Brolympus, revbrolutionary, revbrolutionary, brolific, "oh no bro", brocasion, brolationship.

Go ahead, add all of brose to your dictionary. So when you type them it doesn't try correct your brocabulary. Make sure you practice your bronounciation.
