Folks without siblings think it’s like a built in best friend, which it is, but it’s one forged in blood, insults, and lies
Exactly - All best friends are forged from blood, insults, and lies, and siblings are no exception.
It’s like if you went up to a best mate like, “Hey, Best Friend”
There is only one man who can pull that off
Sauce?
Aoi Todo from Jujutsu Kaisen
I made my best friend playing backyard football after he intentionally beamed me in the balls.
“Hey”
“The fuck you want?”
This is the way
“Sup asshole.”
“Hey. Wait, are you wearing my shirt??”
And then whoever was wearing the stolen item fled the scene.
Woop woop woop (V) (°,°) (V)
The claws can’t flee like they used to.
We call each other bro. The sister is also a bro
I’m a dude. He’s a dude. She’s a dude. Cause we’re all dudes. Yeah!
Dude is a gender neutral term. It knows no age limit or maximum. It rejects no profession, it passes no judgement, but embraces all. It is all encompassing. Everyone that wishes to be a dude need not do anything other than reach insides themselves and embrace their dudeness. For we are all dudes.
I was gonna ask if you fucked dudes. But then I saw your user name, so never mind. Anyone out of the loop can just Google it.
Sour about your elected officials? Vote Lemon Party!
Duuude
Back when we lived together:
[noncommital grunt]
[noncommital grunt but with a girl’s voice]Now that we live far apart:
“You good?”
“Yea.”
[positive grunt]
[positive grunt but with a girl’s voice]Is first grunt genderless?
I’m going to put this one in my “likely aliens, so definitely aliens” list.
Yes. I’m AMAB but like playing around with gender.
Usually some derogatory term. Sometimes I go out of the way to find something in another language or old English.
It’s not about saying hello. It’s about mind games.
“Hey, you flippy bint!”
“I… Uhh, hi?”
My Dad tries to encourage us to call our step-sibling Bro, and it ends up feeling weird because of exactly this - siblings just don’t talk like this.
I think you might not want to know what kind of porn your dad watches.
Bro…
Remind me not to get stuck anywhere with my Dad or step-sibling around
We just use names
As my family is Vietnamese, not only do I adress my own elder siblings “brother” and “sister”, I even adress people like that that aren’t my actual siblings at all. Unless they’re older, in which case they’re “uncle” and “aunt”.
for me it’s either a curt exchange of mutually understood grunts, or
“DEAREST SIBLING, how wonderful to see you! How are–”
“fucking stop.”It’s amazing how little effort it takes to piss off a sibling. You know exactly what buttons to push. Other times it’s like they’ve built up a tolerance to your bullshit so it doesn’t work. One time I farted in my brothers face four times while he was playing on his Nintendo DS and he only acknowledged me because of the amount of farts. “How the hell can you fart that many times in a row?!”
I’ve called a lot of people bro, but never my brother lmao
I’ve had to tell my daughter not to call me ‘bro.’ Not putting up with that.
Would you prefer bruncle?
To paraphrase Captain Janeway, “protocol with your friends aside, I don’t like being addressed as bro. Pop is acceptable in a crunch but I prefer Dad.”
My husband had the same talk with me.
Why do you hate fun?
I call my brothers bruh, bro, guy, buddy, pal. But bro is 90% of the time.
I call her sis and she calls me little bro ¯\(ツ)/¯
Siblingless propaganda
False
… Nice.
Me too! There’s dozens of us!
As someone with brothers, how do we greet each other? With violence.
It always annoys me that people call each other by name in movies.
Yeah, it’s so you know who the characters are, but who actually does that in real life?
Me. But I’m autistic so I don’t think I’m exactly a good snapshot of the general public.
Pretty normal where I live tbh. Kids use each other’s names for each other 99% of the time. It would be ultra weird to use “brother/sister” in daily speech. That’s how it’s written in shitty books and TV novellas over here tbh…
I call my friends by name all the time. One of them walks into wherever we’re gathering, and I’ll call out Nick and give my boy a hug for example.
my brother does in fact fall me bro bro, and i regularly call him bro
