If someone says "Blah blah blah, bro." This is a mutual expression of dudeness, and is affectionate.
If someone says you ARE a bro, that is a terrible fucking insult, because people who ARE "bros" are absolutely awful and everything that everybody that is NOT a frat boy or sorority girl hates. A "bro" is a total douchebag that treats women like shit and then is surprised he never gets laid. A "bro" is a guy whose greatest skill is his mediocrity at beer pong. A "bro" lives in either a frat house or a college dorm, but possibly is not actually taking any classes that college. Are you understanding why being called a "bro" is an awful thing yet?
I was joking when I said having a shirtless avatar would automatically make you a bro, because you are a much better person than any bro could ever hope to become, but a bro won't actually ever hope to become a better person, anyway.
It now occurs to me that it will be genuinely interesting to discover what happens to "bros" in 10, 20, and 30 years. Crap, now I need to find a bro and make him one of my Facebook friends so I can find out.
