Dude Or Bro?

[Magpie 624]

Weirdly enough I'm on the side of dude, username not included. Unless you specifically say you don't want me to call you dude I will. Same with man.

 

Perhaps this will be helpful?

Bro, if you don't say dude, you're not my dude, bro.

[IcyHaze 595]

Well, both seem to be mostly american slang terms - in Ireland we'd use "boy", "girl", "lad", "lass" or "bud".

And normally we use "well" as a greeting - so typical things are "Well girl, how's it going?" or "Jaysus lad, that's a mad story"

[Princess Periwinkle 3,778]

Both. And "breh," when I'm feeling feisty.

[darkwingmare 1,324]

Ey dude! Ey man! What's going on guys?

That's how I talk.

Being Australian, I instead refer to the greeting, "Oi [expletive rhyming with the word used to describe what cavemen do for food]". It just rolls off the tongue nicely.

I find "bro" more sympathetic for some reason.

Then again, English isn't my first language...

[Coco before Pommel 679]

I like "dude", as a gender-neutral term it just flows for some reason - hey dude!! I occasionally use "bro" too, just to mean "friend" but I use both more online than in RL

Usually dude. I don't think I've ever said bro outside the "you mad bro" meme.

 

My favorite is man. "Really, man? What the hell are you doing, man?"

i use bro with im with my friends

either that or some inapparoite words

[Empty Room 512]

I don't know why, but I tend to use neither of those words. I suppose it's because I'm British.

[Swift Wind 49]

I usually say dude, but I really don't like saying that.

[Hovershy 3,816]

Bro > Dude

 

It depends though. I feel like bro is more "intimate" I guess then dude. So I use bro more with my close friends.

[Kiri 7,297]

I don't use "dude" that often when addressing a peer, and I will most commonly say "bro" when I'm being silly. I would never use these terms with my superiors or parents, even if they said they were ok with it.

I don't really use either, I rarely ever say dude and I don't think I've ever say bro.

[Kivil 1,721]

I say both along with guys, I don't call people a specific thing. If they are Asexual I call them by their first name or what they prefer to be called.

I don't say either. Even in 'casual' speak I usually address people as if they were my boss. If not, then I just say "Hey"

[Shift 4,275]

I have mostly girl friends, so it wouldn't really make sense to call them bros. So I just call them dude. Now that I think about it, I call pretty much everyone dude.

[Celtore 2,770]

I think I use "man" more than dude or bro combined. For some reason, I picked up that dialect in grade 5 or 6.

[cmarston1 5,965]

I don't say either.

If I were to use anything like them I usually just say guys instead.

[MLPFanatic34 3,241]

I usually say bro when I'm with my friends.

[Detritus 258]

Dude is the most common one for me.

[rarity1 461]

I use both but mostly dude.

[ITV Canterlot 39]

Neither. I use "mate".

Both dude and bro are rather tougher for me to pronounce, in a daily casual way. And I think "mate can specify to a wider demography.

[Nerdy Luigi 2,065]

I use "dude". But rarely. Also, I normally say it as an exclamation.

 

But usually when I address people, I don't usually address them as anything.
