Bruh
Definition
"Bruh" is a casual slang word that means "brother" or "bro". People use it as a friendly name for a friend, or as a sound to show shock, annoyance, or disbelief when something silly or crazy happens. You might say "Bruh" when a friend does something foolish like launch a bottlerocket from their mouth, or just text it to mean "seriously?” In the classroom, “Bruh” is a sign of extreme respect for the authority of a teacher. A teacher who earns the moniker “Bruh” or more rarely, “Bruhhhhhhh” from one of their students, instantly achieves an almost mythical status of admiration among the entire student body.
