The age old question of Bro vs Dude? I present a true story of Bro vs Dude.
1) Bro – A new guy was hired at my work about three weeks ago. He calls people bro… well at least me. ”How do you enter this, bro?” ”That’s what I said, bro!”. At first I was like WHAT? I’m not used to hearing bro. It seemed queer to me every time he said it. I would give that look where I twitch my eye and raise my lip like the expression they often use in sitcoms when something bad happens but it’s funny. But after a while I found myself finding the use of bro endearing. ”You get what I’m talking about, bro?” ”MOST CERTAINLEY, BRO!”
Bro
2) Dude- After I noticed how many times the new guy used bro, I found myself noticing how many times I say dude. “Take it easy, dude.” “Noway, dude!”. Do people give me the look when I say dude at work???? I also say man. Shit this is like a Bro vs Dude vs Man battle. Fuck me Amadeus!
Dude Sweet

somehow, dude seems derisive whereas bro seems affectionate. you know? “what’s your problem, dude?” subtext – you’re disgusting. “what’s your problem, bro?!” subtext – i genuinely like you and am concerned about your problems. “bra” on the other hand, is the “dude” version of “bro.”

Anyway.. . I can’t believe I googled for this, and then found it.

South Park parody:
“Duuude.”
“I’m not your dude, bro.”
“I’m not your bro, man.”
“i’m not your man, dude.”
