Now we're in the 'bro' era, among others, I'm sure.

Ending every other sentence with 'bro' makes one sound like a simpleton, but I'm old so I probably don't know what I'm talking about.

From personal experience, the problem is that you use it ironically, maybe with your kids or buddies, and it’s fun for a time.

Then one day you realize you’ve fully adopted it and you look in the mirror and ask yourself “What happened to you, bro?”

God, "bro" was a thing 30+ years ago

I feel like its' use has exploded the last few years, though? I feel like I hear it oh so much..
