Sorry for the double post, but I had something to add.
As far as the word "bro" goes. My point is simply.."Be Yourself". When he's talking to Nellie he is like...Bro this, and Bro that...and then he's talking to Red Hot Chili Peppers and he's like...Dude this, and Dude that! THat's what I mean...I don't like when people try to identify with me by speaking in slang. I don't like it in person, and I don't like it when I see it done on TV. Do you thing that I may not understand you if you aren't like calling me "sistergirl" or what have you. Perfect example, my Pharmacist-in-Charge was talking to me...and she's trying to tell me to go see "Scary Movie" and in her little Vallygirl, Clueless voice she says "Sistergirl, it was sooo funny...Are you and your homegirls going to go see it?" And she only talks like that to me...I am NOT saying that we OWN the language...but if that isn't WHO you are, don't use it...it is condescending and it's not flattering in that context. Now this is my personal opinion, and just one of my personal pet peeves. I am sure that I am forgetting something, so I will probably be back
Thanks for all of the positive comments...keep it flowing, I love to hear different perspectives.
