in Turkish it actually isn’t far too uncommon to call your little brother ‘son’ (oğlum) haha
or your friends (merabaa!)
It’s called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?
Luckily, though an only child, I had plenty of friends with siblings and I quickly caught on to that ‘sis’ or ‘bro’ was never used in anything except the most facetious fashion.
We just called each other cunts
Found the Aussie
How do you call your cousins?
“[Name]”
Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.
“Sup, bitch.”
I was partial to, “Hey, fucko.”
My brother always says “hey little sister” to me though…
that’s kinda sweet
Unless if they’re actually a brother.
maybe they’re just very supportive
Weird. I greet mine like Mufasa on the edge of the cliff. “BROTHER!”
I have yet to be thrown to my doom.
My brother and I greet each other by straight-up shouting each other’s names. Sometimes we go back and forth in increasingly-angry tones, before finally ending with a sweet and gentle, “… hi.”
Since we’re taking a poll in these comments, my go tos for my brother are “Hey Brotato” and “Hey Broseph”, while my sister gets called her shortened first name (which she doesn’t even go by, and hates, haha). Only time she gets sis is if I’m feeling silly and yell “Oi Sis!!!” with a vague cockney or pirate accent for some reason.
I like brotato. Never heard that one before.
Be amazed:
I pretty much always answer phone calls from my other (also adult) siblings by saying “Heya sister/brother”
“You’re my present this year”
I knew this would be here before I got a chance.
Is this an incest joke?
I recommend the cj the x video on it.
Based CJ the X enjoyer
I love their videos, insanely chaotic and just all around a brain massage
There is a Folgers ad that is written by people who do not have siblings, and performed by actors who want to fuck each other.
Imagine being their significant others watching that ad.
Fun Fact: Coffee brother got a part on Castle Rock where he bangs his adopted sister.
I love the implication that there is no “real coffee” in west Africa, despite it being in the coffee belt (in contrast to the USA)
fucking hilarious
Aw man, I love how you just said “extended cut”. It took me a looooong time to realize it’s a parody.
Is it, though?
And then you got warhammer 40k writers
Yeah the primarchs do it, and it’s kinda weird. But they are inhuman monsters that have to serve as generals and politicians, so I forgive them.
When space Marines do it the it’s kinda like how priests refer to each other as brother, but also battle brother is a rank.
I think it is also there to make things seem more theatric/dramatic. Like just how many books start with a dramatis personae? We’re not reading about people, we’re reading about characters in a space opera. No matter how you look at it, it’s still pretty silly.
Hail, Honorable Battle Brother! Holy Terra calls for the aid of our chapter!
(I actually know very little about WH40K beyond what one can learn from AlfaBusa in TTS)
7 out of 8, if you didn’t say you weren’t in the larger 40k community I would have thought that you were.
It’s gone full circle and there’s a 40k version:
I have two sisters and I’ve called them “sis (insert sister name)” since so young that when I was about 4 someone asked my sister’s name and I said “sis Karol” as if sis was part of her name lol. Only one note, I said “mana” instead of sis, I translated it to sis here because it is pretty much the same meaning in all ways
What’s the language ?
Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese more specifically
ah, right, ok
Mana might be short for hermana since she said sis instead of sister. Maybe Spanish.
Almost! It’s Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese more specifically!
Whaddup you sonofabitch?!
self report
My brother and I refer to each other simply as ‘brother’ and always without fail do the ‘brothers gotta hug’ line from Tommy Boy. He’s a CW5 in the Army but doesn’t give a shit and it raises eyebrows, why we do it.
My sister, I used to call her ‘sis’ but like a decade ago she met my brothers twin kids for the first time (he was stationed in Hawaii), and my brother tried introducing them by saying ‘do you see that lady, she’s your aunt’ and they immediately shouted ‘HEY LADY’, asking for something or other, so now everyone calls her ‘lady’
I don’t think I’ve ever called my brother “bro”. I call my friends “bro” all the time.
I just call my brother by his (shortened) name to his face, or his full name to my parents. And “my brother” when referring to him anywhere else.
my siblings and I call each other then most derogatory nicknames we for each other since we used to argue and fight a lot growing up unless shit is serious. then it’s “hey (actual name)”
my home life wasn’t super stable so I wonder how many families have this kind of sibling relationship
Same except my home life was fairly stable.
Although I guess our nicknames, while certainly insulting, aren’t too derogatory
Idk, I definitely call both my brothers bro, but I’m also 10 yrs younger than one and 21 yrs older than the other. They’re also both half-bros tho, so maybe that’s it
I’ve also used brochacho here and there since learning it
I’m also 10 yrs younger than one and 21 yrs older than the other
Did your mom start real young and IVF the last one or did your dad bang younger women?
My mom had my bro at 20, and me at 30. My dad had me at 30 and my lil bro at 52. Dude’s crazy lol
They said Half-Bros, so likely just dad still got swimmers
Imma find some way to use this
I call both of my siblings shitass (or poopbutt when their kids are around) because my dudes guess what they do with their asses
Have you seen Reservation Dogs?
First time one of them said shitass my family just looked at me as I went
hey shitass wanna see me speedrun?
