2. What’s with the “brah” spike and plateau through the 90s? Did an MTV VJ use it regularly?

3. I was hoping that was almost over. It’s been going on for long enough.

4. I wonder if the trend would be more obvious if Reddit comments were analyzed instead

5. Bro and Bruh don’t mean the same thing though so that comparison seems out of place.

6. My wife and I have that word banned basically in our house. If our teenage daughter wants to express a surprised moment towards someone, she has to think of something better to use.

7. My 6 year old Chinese Canadian daughter kept on saying Bruh, I was howling laughing the first time she did it, now I am not as amused.

   I don’t know which kid started it, the class is like 90% Asian.

8. It’s looking good for brev, breeevvvvvvvv

9. [“Breh” was the golden dayz](https://youtu.be/msBbeo0SKHI?feature=shared)

10. I automatically deduct 20 iq points when I hear either.

11. When 12 year old white boys are calling their mom “bro,” I think we’ve reached peak bro.

12. It would be interesting to see how much of the 2018 peak was due to ‘bruh’ being added to the Oxford English Dictionary.

    btw the hell used brev in the 50s

14. This study is worthless, it isn’t even tracking the South African “broo”. smh

15. Somebody please do “wild”. It’s driving me crazy how often I’m hearing it.

16. I must be old. I just say “my brother”.

17. Bruh, who still uses bro? Boomers? /s
