| 1185601 | 2011-03-13 01:22:00 | I'd naturally assumed it was a Kiwi thing since it was one of the language things that was immediately apparent when I first came over here, but i"ve been "talking" to a software developer in Switzerland of all places (I'd found a bug in a bit of his software) and he'd always associated it with America. I'd never really thought about it 'til now. So, is it another piece of American dross that's been imported from the States along with McDs, KFC and Rap? :ban |

| 1185606 | 2011-03-13 02:40:00 | Some of our local brothers like to copy their africa-american bruthas, so yes, arguably the use of bro has its origins in the US - where they're all bruthas and sistas. Kind of odd in a way, since there's practically no cultural , historical or genetic relationship between the two groups. Our local brothers would likely have more heritage with the French and the Spanish. Hola bro! |

| 1185609 | 2011-03-13 04:10:00 | aw bro! this ain't no good ay. My cuzzie is gone burger as and me sista geeshed her car on a sign out side of kaitoke. her arms got a funny bodangie Gone Burger, geeshed and bodangie are all part of "bezza's" (Mr Berry's) tech block language. He's a bit "gone burger" as it were, too much sniffing of solvents after hours. probably sticks his head in the extractor outlets for funs :D We are pretty sure bezz has his own language. His classes are crack up. I think bro is some sorta american slang. Accent is everything. Maori blokes do it better than most. Have we got any proper NZ slang? So far I could count a word in but I have no idea how to spell it and it's meaning is probably left unsaid for the greater good of the forums. |
