Rfd-sense: "ironic usage of bruv by people whose dialect would otherwise call for bruh."

I can't work out what this means but it seems to be referencing itself - "bruv means bruv, but ironic". Anyway, we don't generally have separate usage for sarcastic or ironic usage, especially not when that's just impersonating the way another speaks. Otherwise we could have a definition of ain't as "ironic usage of ain't by people whose dialect would otherwise call for is not." Smurrayinchester (talk) 08:15, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
