Surfers Take ‘Bro’ Slang to the Take Step



OCEANSIDE, Calif. (Wireless Flash) – The word “bro” is slang for brother, but did you know surfers call a bro that joins the army a “G.I. bro?” That’s according to Transworld Surf magazine, which has collected the latest “broisms,” being used on California beaches. For instance, “brolygamy” is when a bro has more than one girlfriend.‘ When a bro won’t let you borrow his surfboard, he’s being “brossessive.” “Bromosomes” are traits a bro inherits from his father. Finally, a “broverthrow” is when you and your bros overthrow a beach by taking all the waves.
