BRO ...do u ever say bro in real life?

[Zander1983]

Never. I think I've only ever heard it used once in my whole entire life.

In Australia guys call each other "mate". Although it might seem weird to others, its about as right as it gets down here. Some wanky types use "pal" or "buddy", while some think they're tough as nails by using "man".

Wouldn't make sense in my native language, but since I speak mostly english in the office, I also started saying 'bro'.. :O
Not as bad as the "wasuuuuuuup"-illness, but not far.

Same as us Brits - everyone is "mate", guys and girls.

On a slightly differenent note discrepancies in UK English and US English can be quite amusing:

Robbie Williams (A UK pop singer) has been trying to make it over in the States for a while now - one of his songs opens with a line that could be interpreted slightly differently by a US audience:

"My breath smells of a thousand fags"



... also strange that most people over here would assume a "brolly" is an umbrella.

LOL Smurfy! Perfect. Intended to aid in the lifting department. I think that's what the ladies should be.

I catch myself almost saying "bor" at times.

I'm like "hey bor..." <DAMN>

And my partner is like "Bore? You call me a bore? WHAT THE FUCK?"




So now, I have been relying on "wassup dawg" when talking to him.

Sometimes instead of laughing, I'll actually say "laughing out loud".

Yeah, I get weird looks for it. Or is it my lack of pants that gets me those looks. Hmmmmm.

I don't think my partner gets half of the EF that carries over in real life to me.

Especially when I do the "rock on" smiley ---> and go "w00t" to add emphasis when I harass him.
