You've probably heard the word "Bro" used liberally at your local bar or gym. Perhaps you've even seen it recklessly confused with "dude" or "guy" in an adventure themed [bad word]  Maybe even you yourself have unwitthingly tossed out a "Bro" when asking a stranger for the time.

Q: Who is your Bro?
A: Your mailman is a Bro, your father was once a Bro, and the boy who mows your lawn represents the Bro of tomorrow, but that doesn't make him your Bro.

Q: Can only dudes be Bros?
A: You don't need to be a guy to be somebody's Bro, provided you uphold the moral values contained within this sacred canon. When a women sets a guy up with her busty friend, she's acting as a Bro. And if she sets him up with other hot friends after he slept with the first one and never called her again, then she s officially his Bro.
