"Brah" redirect, please

[edit]

I'm requesting that "brah" redirect here. TIA, brah. 169.241.64.192 18:29, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

We wouldn't redirect, but perhaps brah should have an entry of its own. (Probably not, though: it looks like a protologism, not attested.)—msh210 18:32, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
See (deprecated template usage) bra (etymology 3). Equinox 21:23, 27 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

"Bro" meaning "preppy"

[edit]

i spent my childhood around US-DC & spent eleven years at at public schools where the often well-heeled gifted/magnet students were mixed with the impoverished on purpose. Considering that it was also the world's murder capital up to the 1990s and that it is one of the most African-American places, i heard people call others, "preppy", several hundred times & if it bro had acquired a preppy connotation, i should have come across it then but i didn't. Furthermore, in the late '90s i moved to AU-WA where i was exposed to much more non-US English & also haven't heard that meaning. i request a citation.

Rfv-sense: sense 4: a male who is preppy. Talk page contributor requested verification. I'm not familiar with this sense, either. DCDuring TALK 16:35, 31 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
