    I always say "Excuse me brah"

    but I don't say brah at any other time. I don't know why, but I think it's something to do with how cool I am.


    Also Broseph is a good one

    It's the Scots.

    Seriously - I thought it was just a stupid thing they had Desmond in Lost say but if you spend any time in Scotland you hear it all the time.

    "Alright brother, how are you?"
    "Fancy another Haggis, brother?"

    It sounds right in a Scottish or Jamacian accent, not in an Irish one.

    "brother" isnt all that uncommon a term among us nortsoyiders, mostly used by taxi drivers and junkies though

    Do you not get it, lads? The Irish are the blacks of Europe. And Dubliners are the blacks of Ireland. And the Northside Dubliners are the blacks of Dublin. So say it once, say it loud: I'm black and I'm proud. Brother.

    i don't mind it actually. But in NZ it's ridiculous, even women call blokes "bro", give it a rest! Not all Kiwis like it though.

    Its all that dirty hippie guys fault, swanning around in sandals with his "brothers" having ridiculous picnics on the hills and jabbering on about his latest fantasy story...Jebus I believe he is called.

    Tried complaining to his ma about anti-social behaviour but she thinks he's god. Wimmin ffs!

    How does a ridiculous picnic differ from a normal one? More clowns?

    OP; you weren't drinking in the Dail Bar over the weekend by any chance?

    I think it came about from white guys trying to be hip and cool, but only shows them to be, well, stoopid!

    He spiked some bread with shrooms and had them all thinking that they were eating Brennans bread and tuna. Most were just chewing on thistles.

    Sigh. Its true.

    You know the type. Youre on the airplane, and you start to make small talk with the guy next to you (your first big mistake of the flight) and it doesnt matter what you say ("These pretzels are making me thirsty!") and they spit back with an "Amen, Brother!"

    I mean you can just hear the nose-bleeding accent now.
