I don't think I've ever called my brother "bro". I call my friends "bro" all the time.
-
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
-
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
-
-
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.
-
-
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
-
-
Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.
-
How do you call your cousins?
-
"[Name]"
-
-
-
Japanese translators have entered the chat.
-
"Notice me, person-who-is-my-senior-in-whatever-situation-I-met-them!"

Hey Nissan
-
honk honk?

-
All according to keikaku
-
All according to cake
-
It's such a stupid meme, I love it.
-
-
I know nothing of which you speak of
-
なに!?
-
-
-
I just use my sibling's first name most of the time.
-
Same, but every year, they get a shorter and a longer nickname.
-
My sister started calling me "little brother" about the time I got taller than her. Before that we were just using first names.
-
me too
-
Oh I literally almost never use my sister's name. Like not when I'm talking to her and also even if I'm talking to other people I'll just say my sister. Sometimes I say my big sister which confuses people because I only have one.
-
-
It's called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?
-
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.

"Sup, removed."
-
I was partial to, "Hey, fucko."
-
-
Me and my sister call each other “trash” (sounds better in our language). We constantly make jokes about the other being trash (I.e “I gotta take the trash out” with a subsequent “why do you need to go out?”) etc.
We’re in our 20s
-
Me and my brother call each other trash in English.
-
-
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."
-
-
My family has fully adopted the Buster Bluth, "Hey brother", "hey sister", "hey cousin".
-
complete with massage?
-
you can always tell a Milford man

My bro used to call me shitpants (in German) and I callt my cousin lovingly "little shitpants" Also been called clevershit a lot by my siblings (which was fair ig.) But when things got tough they had my back.
-
Pantshitter, mein Froind. Nix shit pants. Klugscheißer ist aber auch hübsch.
-
All my siblings are way older than me(only lived with one for 4 years), and every one of them besides my sister has greeted me as little shit at some point.
-
-
My older brother and I never greeted each other except with nonverbal communication, IE hitting each other.
-
Oh Mein Bruder
Ah, Kwiatz
Doctor?
Those, all the time.
-
-
i have a lot of siblings, and the only time ive ever called any of them "sis" or "bro" is when my older step brother and i make fun of the "step bro" memes
-
make fun of
Uh huh. 🧐
-
-
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 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?
-
-
"Oh dearest sister" is for when you want something. "Hey" is the standard greeting.
-
in Turkish it actually isn't far too uncommon to call your little brother 'son' (oğlum) haha
-
or your friends (merabaa!)
-
-
bold of you to assume the conversations i have with my siblings include coherent words of any kind
-
Weird, I've always called my sister 'sis' and my sister calls me 'bro'
-
Hey fuckface! I'll have your oats now.
-
I like my oats with maple syrup and marshmallows on top 😋
-
-
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
-
Hello friend
-
Hello to you as well my friend.
-
Hello friendos.
-
-
-

-

-
I pretty much always answer phone calls from my other (also adult) siblings by saying "Heya sister/brother"
-
Good to know!
