I use it a lot. I don't necessarily mean any harm when I use it. I just think it's funny/annoying.

Devin (wow-thats-a-cool-car) is a bro.

Or I think of GLENDALE.

Bros here in the 951 have started picking that word up. For the non-California people, here is a good site that expains the "bro" phenomena.

EDIT.
Urban Dictionary said it came from NorCal,
"It's a contraction of "hell of", and may have originated in Alameda County, California. It was definitely in common use in Berkeley public schools as far back as 1979."

"The farmers from Northern California who settled here a long time ago (probably before the 1950's) were patient and slow people and took everything with ease. When they communicated to explain "VERY" they would say "hell of a" instead of "very" or "a lot". Then the city folks who migrated in later to the Bay Area took the Northern California farmers saying and shortened it to "Hella" instead of "Hell of a."
So in the end the word "hella" comes from the Bay Area city folks. Short and sweet."

Hella and Brah are the typical snowboardy, stoner talk from the early 90's in WA.

Shawn Palmers hair is hella crazy Brah.

seeing Jim Rippey poke those tindy grabs was Hella sick.

And NorCal and Stoner snowboarders seem to somehow share the same vocabulary.....

It originally came from snowboarding.

I grew up from the age of ten in Palo Alto, lived in San Francisco for 9 years and Hecka was being used by the kids there. Basically I have a given right to use Hella because I am technically a bay area peeps even though I live in socal. LOL

The second I hear any variation of the word "bro" come out of someone's mouth, I immediately lose large amounts of respect for them. Maybe I'm bitter; maybe I'm the douchebag. Just doesn't sit well with me.

Except brotato. brotato is just fine.

It appears to carry a negative connotation on this site. I would like to rectify the situation.

Discuss.

You want to DO WHAT to the situation? You're sick!
