The context Pike was using has clearly gone out the window. Now nobody is really sure what is really going on any more.

I use the term "bro" to just determine anyone that fits in that awkward middle between "friend" and "acquaintance".
Using Pike's apparent definition of "fun coworker," I have some bro coworkers. My boss is hilarious, and makes fun of everyone. He says the best part of his job is getting to be a dick as much as possible.
It doesn't get too rowdy, though, as there are a bunch of people in the office. Not everyone lacks any sort of sensibilities.
Yeah I meant "bro" as in "someone you like and/or are friends with," I guess I should've clarified that?
What? I have never called a friend a bro. Everyone I speak to uses bro as an equivalent for "douche bag" who wears his hat backwards and has the intellect of a rock. :confused:
It's the opposite for me! But maybe because of my friends' circle. Wouldn't be the first term that myself and my friends use the opposite way as everyone else.
That is so weird that "bro" has two opposite meanings.
I'm an unemployed bro. :monster:
Down here bro means a friend/acquaintance too. Douches are referred to as......douches.
I work mostly on my own now, but I've had work bros and femm-bros in the past.
I just assumed that as 'bro' was such a....lets be honest it's a pathetic word morons use, that nowadays it could only actually be used ironically or as an insult. I had no idea you meant they were ok fellas and close.
I called my 37 year old female South African co-worker my bro and tried to brofist her. She was confused. THANKS A LOT, EoFF!
I think the negative connotation of bro that people are using is actually a misleading shortening of the term "dudebro".
That makes sense.
I am a dudebro at work and it is so much fun. :D
Im disapointed no one has coined the term "Broworkers" in this thread. Also no my coworkers are dull like me
