whats with "bro"

what's with the whole "bro" calling deal?
I havent been huge on forums for about 3 years until i found this site for my phone. now i come on here atleast 4 times an hour.
but ive noticed that the new thing is to call everyone bro. at first i thought it was an insult because where i live "california" it's an insult to call someone a bro
ie. everyone makes fun of the "bro" seen like sideways hat wearing dirt biking big truck lifted high enough to need red airport lights...
am i missing something with the bro deal?

It means brother (Bro-ther)

Chill out bro.
We aren't flaming you, bro.
You'll know when we are flaming you, bro.
No disrespect meant, bro.
Bro.

No it isn't bro. And someone who must have put huge amounts of thought into creating his handle shouldn't be concerning themselves with something this trivial.

where exactly in california do you live?
Down here, to call somewhere a bro or a "brother" is a sign of respect. Or maybe that might just be me.

hahahahaha!!! I'm started to see how this post was a bad idea.
thanks guys!
yes I know bro = brother. just never seen it used so much in my life until recently. i joined a few forums and noticed everyone using it.
My intention was not to send this topic in a negative direction at all. just wondering what may have started the "thanks bro" response across the forums of the net.
I'm from orange county. And bro means a two things here.
stereo type & family.
95% used as a stereo type or insult to joke about a certain type style or appearance.

oh....
orange county....
how is it in marin? what reaction does bro induce there?
you'd be hard pressed to believe it, but i'm actually very interested in this.

thats way up past san fran. not to sure but as a remember thats the same area that start the term "hella"

gotcha.
in case you're wondering why i care, it's because i have a BS (NOT bachelor of science) degree in geographical demographic linguistics with a concentration in regional technical vocabulary and a minor in inverted mind reading.
yeah. believe it

bro
brosef
brobinz

are you comfortable with the "lol" word?
that bugs me the most!

lol
ya i used to hate "lol" too but once i got the meaning understood i use it alot. i just think of it as the person to be laughing, as opposed to actually thinking "laugh out loud".

Ah, my friend from Orange. These guys just don't know about the So Cal "bro".
Ambiguous and Skin shirts, Famous hats (sideways, of course) and West Coast Choppers sunglasses. The mandatory F-350 with the 13" lift and 57" mud crawlers. Two dirt bikes in the bed, can't forget about those.
Either that, or driving like an idiot in Daddy's Yukon Denali or Escalade EXT, cutting you off and being a moron with his three other bro's in the truck with him.
Strange little microcosm we have down here.

What the hell is wrong with you man? I currently reside in Long Beach CA, and used to live in Orange CA. Bro is not a sign of disrespect at all, do you go outside and interact at all? I would say no offense but this is F-ING RIDICULOUS!!! The real question is if the whole crackling noise my rice krispies make is trash talking, cuz I think it is LOL.

Yeah man, we all want to be black I say Bro all the time and I do not fit the description of what any of you guys listed. I am not exactly rich, dont have a lifted anything, and sure as hell don't want to be black. It is totally completely dependent on how the word is used. If I say " whats up brotha, or bro" that is an act of friendliness. If I say "F_ _ _ you bro" that is something you would punch someone in the mouth for. Just learn to read people better and you'll no what there intentions are.

First off, I think you are way off base. It seems to me that you are the one stereo-typing.
I for one have 3 lifted vehicles, all 4wd, because I like to play off road. One 1973 Jeep CJ5, one 1988 Ford Bronco and one 2006 Jeep Wrangler. I also have 2 dirt bikes and 2 quads. I used to race motocross and still enjoy riding and nature. Have you ever tried getting away, outdoors, on your own all by yourself. I also wear a hat about 60% of the time but it is never sideways. Always straight forward unless I turn it around backwards to keep it from flying off while riding with the tops off of my Jeeps. I also own a Ford Expedition, not lifted, standard mostly as a matter of fact, married and with a 5 year old son who loves to ride as well off road whether it be in the 4wd or on his own quad or dirt bike.
Maybe you need to step outside sometime and get some fresh air and quit your stereo-typing.

Speeding Ticket

I got a speeding ticket about 4 months ago, i paid the fine and they said i was good to go and today out of NOWHERE i get a court date notice. i was like WTF and now i get to go court next friday....how much fun!
p.s. i will be going with my diamond
(help relate this to the forum )

Thanks to the incompetence of our legislators I just deleted an additional $6K (US) from my LONG speeding ticket list, on top of the first $ 7K I had deleted last year. You see some senator try to change the law text, but made a typo, and the text ended up stating that "any ticket unpaid older than three years can be deleted..." Now I only have $1.9 K to go... only a couple of months more... woo hoo!

LOL
Thank God I live in a small town in a third world country!!
We have no cameras on streets for speeding! so you just have to be aware of the patrol, like in the old times!

LOL, funny thread.
Think of it this way: Would you rather be late for something and not cost a dime more, or be on time with a hefty bill Thats my train of thought

im just glad i have no car. even if i did get a ticket the omnia wont do much lol

lol. the fines $150 but i have to go to court so it will end up around $400 for everything. Who came up with all this crap?

I've only been pulled over once in my 9 years of driving.
I was on SR-77, Woodland Twp, New Jersey. A state trooper clocked me at 77 in a 50. Since I had a spotless driving record, he saved me a $300+ ticket and only wrote me up for "Risk of Accident" @ $54.

Questions For British People!

Hello, I have a few questions for the numerous people that live over in the UK.
1. What are common phrases you say every day?
2. What are some uncommon phrases you don't say every day?
3. Why do you drive on the left side of the road?
4. Do you all visit these..... places for phones?? This is a quote from Demon_Man, a british person
Demon_man said:
Just had a right laugh nice weather so walked to town, went in Carphone Whorehouse and said i need the Internet settings for android on virgin and he took my phone to check the settings and just looked at it didnt no what to do, the same in Virgin media lol, only use i have actually found for Android on my leo so far to confuse the shops LMFAO
Click to expand...

That's it. Thanks!

1. What are common phrases you say every day?
Bloody, ****e, Pint, One more Pint, Wanker, Give me one more pint B***, Hell
2. What are some uncommon phrases you don't say every day?
Elevator, Garbage
Lol, I'm not British.
EDIT: Sorry if my stereotypes offended any of you brits

Haha, I'm sincerely hope that our British forum users are not offended by this thread! As much as we poke fun at British English, I'm sure you guys find our American English just as funny!
One more question to be added for the brits!
Why do you guys add extra useless letters to your places names?
Eg. Leicester Square is pronounced "lester square" rather than like it's spelled (ie "le-sester square"). And Gloucester Road is pronounced "gloss-ter road" rather than "gl-ow-sester road".

Lol. For some reason this thread brought this quote to mind: "Austria! Well, then. G'day mate! Let's put another shrimp on the barbie!" Gotta love Dumb and Dumber.

No offense intended, just interested in the British peeps over here. Especially demon_man's phrase. What is that translated to american???

I find your questions offending. You have insulted Detroit. tsk. tsk. tsk. OMG! My Detroit home-bois! told me where I can go to get my line-up. Gonna look sexy again tomorrow!

1. What are common phrases you say every day?
I don't tend to say any phrases as such, I guess I am boring like that.
2. What are some uncommon phrases you don't say every day?
Garbage, Trash. (Its Rubbish....) I don't know. If I don't say them everyday, how am I going to remember them.
3. Why do you drive on the left side of the road?
Because this is the correct side to drive on, given a vast percentage of people are righties, it makes sense to always be able to have your strongest arm on the wheel? (My left arm dislocates at the shoulder quite often, so thats my excuse)
4. Do you all visit these..... places for phones?? This is a quote from Demon_Man, a british person
I find myself reguarly visiting Carphone Whorehouse to see what the latest stock is and avaliability. Sometimes you may have to pay a little more then other places, but I find it is often worth it.... I believe another term would be brothel?
Anymore questions?

I know this much: they (we) drive on the "wrong" side because of the Romans. They used to carry their weapons right hand while on horses and as they've gone past each other they could fight! The same principle applies today while going up and down stairs or on pavements.

People on radio interviews say "To be honest..." a lot, as if they never are the other times! They also say "I don't mean to be disrespectful but..." meaning exactly the opposite. Footballers also say "I have a calf..." or "I have an Achilles..." meaning they have something wrong with them. I then say "Really? when did you discover that? Mine were always there anyway." They also say "I mean..." a lot. The oldies say "Please!" and "Thank you" a lot. Footballers and other athletes always talk on the third person while talking about themselves. And they talk about the weather a lot.

So if the same princple applies today.... then your saying when you drive up and down roads in your cars, you carry a weapon in your right hand so you can fight other cars that pass you? Very interesting indeed!

Hey guys.
Something horrible happened to me today.
Here goes: Me and my other two friends, Adrian and Argelio were riding our bikes for like an hour outside. We rode everywhere and had no problems with anyone.
We turn at a school where we see a group of 5 kids all dark clothed and looking a little cholo. We ignore them and I'm just talking to my friend when suddenly we all hear the word ******. I just laughed and said "I love you too" they stop and all of them turn around and said something so we just ignored them. About 50 feet away now from them we were about to turn the corner and I decide to scream "I love you too" because all I was hearing was talking and screaming from them. WE suddenly see two of them on a bike and one running. Towards us.
We start peddling faster and like another 100 feet from them.......the damn bike chain gets loose so my friends are on their bikes and I have to run like 1/2 mile to my house with the damn bike on my side. My heart was pounding and I just kept running. We go to my house and this time I call my sister out thinking she might know some of them....turns out they're all in gangs and had knifes with them so I told her if she could come with us and talk to them....we went again and found them at a park...all of a sudden my sister and my friends all say.."RUN!" They want you so run, don't look back, they're gonna kill you. I started laughing and thinking "THIS ISN'T REAL" So I stayed thinking I could confront them and try to talk but one of them was just running at me saying. "Come on 1 on 1 pu**y, come, right here right now b*tch. I said, "I just wanted to say Hi" Now I though to my self ...Do I wanna live or get jumped and get rushed to the hospital....LIVE So I took all of my friends' advice and just rode. Luckily I run track and cross country so I had wayy more stamina than them..I go around the neighborhood and hide at home for a while....you might be thinking but cant you 10th grade friends beat them up?....no there was only 1 my age and the rest of my friends were like 12 year old because my real friends are lazy and play black ops......So they are no use to me in helping....
My friends and sister came back and told me "Alan you lucky son of a b*tch, my homeboy AJ called of his homeboys to chase you" "Your never bike riding without me"
So instead of what she said because it's confusing so I'm gonna tell you what she told me..
They were planning on all 3 of them jumping me..they all had knives and were probably gonna leave me dead in the street and flee themselves..
one of them (the one that was talking to me and wanted to fight me) has already killed 1 and was just released from jail...he is about my age and got kicked out of school because of all his gang stuff and smoking weed in the bathroomm
the second - AJ- he's on parrol and got kicked out of school too--he's 14
the 3rd Isaiah is some weed smoker that has been on probation and got kicked out of school too...
My sister then told me how as soon as they learned I was her brother they stopped.....and said if they ever saw me again..I better watch my back....
I'm not really scared...
They just freaked me out because they were horrible looking mexicanss
Well thats it!

This has happendd a couple times to us. We've had the local gang "get off" on us and oh man is it a scary experience. Being outnumbered, outaged and having to defend your own. My best friend has had a knife pulled at his stomach, I've almost gotten jumped for a blue bike. My advice is don't let them intimidate yOu. Next time some confronts you if they're unarmed don't say anything back, take flight immediately. Use all your brute force and aim for his jaw. His buddy's won't do a dam thing trust me on this one.

So your not intimated by a local gang, but your intimated by a ghost? Lol wtf?
Yeah well not gonna lie I'd be more scared of a ghost also...
Still this was a bad ass thread.
Vibrant users have the best threads in off- topic!

Ah, the experience...
First of all, having a knife is pointless and gets you into more trouble than it's worth with school authorities.
Secondly, I fight dirty. Jaw? Please, the groin is more reachable.
Thirdly, and I don't teach this enough, is to learn to sacrifice your off-hand (left, as usual) to displace the opponent's weapon and groin him hard with your knee. Learn to deal with downward stabs, upward stabs, and swings. A weapon is useless at closer to arms-length, and that is great reason to learn Krav Maga or Muay Thai (I know a bit of the latter).
Fourthly, don't pick a fight you can't win.
My worse experience was being ganged up by a bunch of kids my age. About six of them, I believe. They circled me in the park and hit me from the back. In the end, I chased one of them down and beat him to a near pulp. His friends decided that running away from me and hitting my back was preferable to fighting directly, so I chased the slowest of the bunch and trashed him. Of course, they never bugged me again.
Another experience with knives was when I used my right hand (wrong hand) to fight off a knife attacker. Bled all over the place despite him not hitting an artery. Apparently, I broke his wrist and cracked his skull over the incident. As usual his friends left him high and dry when it got tough.

I'm from Argentina, and, just for the record, living here it's like being a marine in Irak, but, maybe, without the AK47 and all the Lady Gaga stuff XD

All I can say is don't mess with sakai4eva.

Punk(s) deserved it. Of course, I whined like a baby about my injuries after the fight, but during?
Sweet sweet adrenaline and natural painkillers.
Of course, I've mellowed a lot since then.

Banged/Locked/Jailed Up Abroad (TV Show)

Anybody watch it? I love this show. Just started up a new season here in America. Just learned it came from Britain and is a world wide show.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banged_Up_Abroad
Really is world wide.
I've always wanted to travel the world and this show makes me want to keep my nose clean in another country. Especially in the 3rd world countries. Just a great show imo. You get to learn about other countries, while seeing some wild stories.

I also love this serie, in fact I have always been fascinated for everything related to prisons (though I´ve never been there, lol). My favourite film is "The Shawshank redemption" and my favourite serie is OZ. And about this serie it is very useful to show young people how they can get into a major problem if they try to make "easy money" that way. And believe me, prisons are not the same in a developed country than in a poor one (I come from one of these).

I can't but help feel that most of these of the people are idiots or at least didn't think before they did what they did. Even the people who went to other countries to bring back a suitcase filled with Levi's, did you not think that if it was that easy this guy would be doing it every week? Of course your luggage is lined with heroin. They don't want to get in trouble for it, so they send you to get it.
The ones I do feel sorry for are the ones backpacking through the country side and get kidnapped or locked up for being spies and such. Those people were just going on vacation and bam, you're in jail. Part of the reason I went backpacking across the South part of USA and not in Mexico or South America. I should have done it in Canada, but eh, maybe another day.

Saw some commercials for this. Seemed like a good show, whens it on? And what channel?

National Geographic aka NatGeo. Last weeks season premiere comes on again before the new episode. New episode at 10 pm eastern time. Last week was badass, reminds me of me if that was to happen to me. I really liked it.

The show has really changed since it first started. Used to they danced around the issue of torture and never actually said it. Just said "he hit me", then you see them come out of the room with one eye swollen shut, busted lip, missing teeth. Like they want to show how much the person got hit but can't say it because of relations or something behind the scenes is keeping them from editing in that they were tortured. Now, they just say it, and depict it in the show. Pretty real now.
