The word "BRUH" is widely used online, mainly between young men and boys, with the meaning "brother" to refer to a close friend.
Spreading in the 2010s, bruh has been used as an interjection used to react to something a fellow guy finds amazing, surprising, or exciting as well as its opposite—something exasperating, embarrassing, or questionable in some way.
For instance: You got the new job?
Bruh!
Or Dad left to get the milk but hasn't returned in 5 years?
Bruh.
Similar bruh words like dude and man are used in the same way.
This bruh notably has been used in memes, GIFs, images, videos, comments, and other content on social media and forums during the 2010s and on.
