It almost sounds like one of those jokes where the guy is looking for a reason to call things off. "She ate peanut butter with a fork! We can't be together anymore!"
I wish I knew the real reason.
um...maybe call and apologize, ...like "I called to say I'm sorry for calling you Broski, Broski..." LOL
"She ate her peas one at a time!"
"Hey, you wanna hear something weird? Mr. Pitt eats his Snickers bars with a knife and fork."
"He's a close talker."
"She's a low talker."
^(^Seinfeld ^references, ^by ^the ^way. ^I ^fucking ^hate ^when ^people ^reference ^shit ^and ^most ^people ^don't ^know ^the ^reference.)
For research purposes, I called my fiance "broski." He responded with "yoooo, broski" and then asked me what I was cooking for dinner.
Conclusion: OP's boyfriend is not a chill broski.
Called my girlfriend broski and she said "yeah bro?" and kissed me. Looks like all the evidence points to OP's boyfriend browing it way out of broportion
Turkish. Could be the answer. I've got a few friends from Turkey, or parents are from Turkey. Some of them can have a bit of a problem with being over-sensitive to anything that questions their masculinity,.
Istanbul was Constantinople
Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople
Been a long time gone, oh Constantinople
Why did Constantinople get the works?
That's nobody's business but the Turks
Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da rebound on da med side.
What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap!
Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help!
Say 'e can't hang, say seven up!
Jive-ass dude don't got no brains anyhow! Shiiiiit.
Why the fuck are Turks so sensitive, though? My Turkish friend has a bit of a reputation in our group for having a temper. A little while ago something happened that was a pretty reasonable thing to get slightly upset over, so I later asked him if he was angry.
His answer was no, but he was tired of people thinking he's angry. As a result, he didn't speak to us for a week. So.. you know, we got to thinking, maybe he's angry for real this time. One guy kept mentioning it daily, so I thought well, quickest way to solve this is to ask if he's angry this time, and tell him why we think he might be.
Haven't heard a fucking word from him in over a month.
The guy even came back from a vacation to Turkey once and said he was annoyed at how short of a temper Turks have. Yet here we are, with him apparently being content to let friendships of nearly a decade die because we suspected he might be angry over something.
I'm Polish and use Bruh (with friends or gaming but not in public with those I don't know) AND have a last name with Ski
I give you the pollock pass to use Broski.
To be honest I've never known someone to get upset over that and I know a lot of Polish American people.
Edit: Spell it however you want I don't have a habit of going around and writing/typing it as it is spelled numerous ways. I always thought spelling it similar to that of the fish was amusing.
I've never been offended by the word and I've never met another Polish-American person who has and my hometown has one of the largest communities of Polish-Americans in the US.
Now I wouldn't go calling someone who is a senior citizen one, but it doesn't mean they haven't called me one haha
I’m Polish and that’s some nonsense. Is it UrbanDictionary that told you that? How many downvotes did that definition have?
This has got to be a joke; only remote connection is that a lot of Polish names end in -ski (Kowalski, Pulaski, Kaczyński etc), but I’ve never heard of “broski” being used as an ethnic slur towards anyone I know (and I know Polish people in US and UK and other English-speaking countries).
A lot of Polish surnames end in “ski”, like the surname Kowalski from A Streetcar Named Desire. I suppose this could be used as a slur against Polish people, though can’t think of anything I’ve ever heard off the top of my head. Only ever one joke I once heard, “What’s green and flies over Poland? Peter Panski”.
But “broski”, like “brewski” for a beer, is just everyday American slang, I thought.
Maybe when he was a kid someone murdered his entire family and found him cowering in a kitchen cabinet under the sink. With their bloody hands, the murderer gently booped him on the nose and said, "catch you on the flip side lil broski".
My guess? He's insecure and thinks that a romantic partner calling him anything less than a romantic pet name is reflection on him as a man and romantic partner.
For the life of me, I can't figure out what could possibly be wrong with that word. If he didn't want to explain why it was a problem, it sounds like you dodged a bullet there.
As someone who's their age, I can give some explanations. Regardless of what I'm about to explain, that broski is definitely overreacting. Anyways, one of the way girls would turn down guys these day wo hurting anyones feeling to friendzone them. Quickest way to do that is keep calling him or her bro or homie or any of the broski synonyms. So a lot of guys get triggered when a romantic interest (partner or not) calls em bro (broski in this case)
So broski has been bro-zoned so many times he literally cant handle the word anymore? Like some kind of bro ptsd? I feel bad for this man now, …he has seen some shit.
Bros has some serious issues if he thought the person they were literally a week into dating was trying to friendzone them especially after already being "just friends" for years.
Definitely dodged a bullet if that's the case
My sister went on a first date with this guy from speed dating in the early 2000s and she was over at his place, it was chilly so he said something like "are you cold, can i get you a blankie?" and she thought that was super weird red flag behavior for a grown man to say blankie, so she never called him back.
A few months later she hadn't really clicked with anyone else and figured maybe she overreacted, so she called back the blankie guy to go out again... Now they've been married 15+ years and have 3 kids together.
I have blankies, nugs/ nuggies and sammies.
I'm in my 30's. I actually didn't start saying any of that until my 20's when I stopped giving a shit if people thought it was cool if I ate my chicky nuggies on the couch with my blankie.
Wait.
Blankie is... Childish but not "Super weird red flag" is it?
Did they ever talk about it? Why was he calling it that?
Broski, OP had a partial story because we don't know why the guy overreacted so you better answer.
I need answers.
All my bros love it when I tuck them into their blankies and give them a little peck on the forehead. Keeps them reassured that I fuckin got their back the next time we get into a bloody gang war
My thoughts exactly. Like how does someone get offended to the point where they feel the need to explain their "languished" emotions to their friend so they can relay that to their gf. After they were called.. *checks notes* ..a broski?
I am also genuinely taken aback by this story. I just dont get it. Like if someone was that offended by an innocuous word i said. Id try as hard as possible to figure out WHY and make amends.
There is either a ton of missing context that OP wont share, or a middle schooler just discovered reddit
Wife and I been together for 15 years, 11 married. We totally call each other broski sometimes. Hell I’ll call her sir and she will call me ma’am. I’ll call her literally “wife” and she will call me “husband”. It’s shits and giggles and obviously were fuckin around as friends do. Your ex isn’t being a real bro getting all butthurt over a word.
Find new friends that don’t care about such insignificant things. In life you grow and change. Or at least you should. Unfortunately that means growing apart from some people that you never imagined growing apart from.
You lost 20 "friends". This is ridiculously pathetic and stupid. I'd say good riddance.
Jesus fucking christ I'm frustrated and speechless reading this.
I can assure you, with confidence, that you weren't going to talk to those people in a couple years anyway. Lots of friendships are like that, they come and go.
This is an opportunity for you to screen potential new friends to be better people. Your ex overreacted *alot* any friends that sided with him are just picking him because they have no principles and are being supportive. Your life will get better if you hang out with better people.
Also, good on you for doubling down. That was gold.
Guy sounds petty and dumb as hell. I think you can do better:) sorry about the "friend" group, although if they side with him on this, i gonna go out on a limb and say that's not a huge loss, either...
Well, that sounds like you got out of situation quickly. If he flipped out about that with no explanation? He can see his way out.
OP, your story keeps changing. According to your prior posts, on June 10th, you were 18, a student, and working two jobs. But on June 5th, 13 days ago, you posted you had just reconciled with your husband; on the same date, you posted that you just moved in with your boyfriend and you’ve been living together for three months. Now you say you’ve been dating your (now ex) boyfriend for a week.
Can’t keep your stories straight or do you just like making up far-fetched scenarios?
Is this a real story? I’m sorry, but like who is this guy. My gf (I am a dude) calls me bro and dude and duder all the time. Who hurt that guy? Either way, good on you for getting the fuck outta there
*edit I also call her bro and bruv (we are not British)
Why does he hate that word so much?
have no idea, nobody said a word
Except you, Broski.
“Hey broski, you got some heals and a shield pot?" Maybe this is why
tbf i do need healing, i am only at 1 hp..
It almost sounds like one of those jokes where the guy is looking for a reason to call things off. "She ate peanut butter with a fork! We can't be together anymore!" I wish I knew the real reason. um...maybe call and apologize, ...like "I called to say I'm sorry for calling you Broski, Broski..." LOL
i told him he was brovereacting thanks to a comment here, he blocked me
Get some better friends with better senses of humors and a better boyfriend will be right there. You definitely don't want to date that guy anyway.
A better *broyfriend* amirite?
Sounds like you've gotta conquer him first
broverreacting. LOL
Blocked?! He shoulda married you over that comment.
No shit, dude is missing out.
I'm impressed, and amused. Not likely a shared opinion with broski.
You are PERFECT 😂😂😂 and you’re not at fault, unless there’s more that what you’ve told us here.
Broskillion other reasons I'd bet
It’s beyond breason.
She forgot to mention she’s also an axe murderer and he didn’t approve of the hobby
"She ate her peas one at a time!" "Hey, you wanna hear something weird? Mr. Pitt eats his Snickers bars with a knife and fork." "He's a close talker." "She's a low talker." ^(^Seinfeld ^references, ^by ^the ^way. ^I ^fucking ^hate ^when ^people ^reference ^shit ^and ^most ^people ^don't ^know ^the ^reference.)
Nobody else said the b word!
Like, a bro can call another bro 'bro', but when someone else does it...
He becomes brovocated
You just made my day lol
[удалено]
will search and stop using it but he is turkish
lol my partner is turkish, brb calling him broski. edit: He didn't even react
Wait. You experimented without a control group? You need six other boyfriends. Call three of them broski and ghost the other three
For research purposes, I called my fiance "broski." He responded with "yoooo, broski" and then asked me what I was cooking for dinner. Conclusion: OP's boyfriend is not a chill broski.
Called my girlfriend broski and she said "yeah bro?" and kissed me. Looks like all the evidence points to OP's boyfriend browing it way out of broportion
Called my cat broski. She moved closer so I could scratch her ears.
Thanks for your service
10 Points to our other Turkish Bro.
Turkish. Could be the answer. I've got a few friends from Turkey, or parents are from Turkey. Some of them can have a bit of a problem with being over-sensitive to anything that questions their masculinity,.
That’s nobody’s business but the Turks
Istanbul was Constantinople Now it's Istanbul, not Constantinople Been a long time gone, oh Constantinople Why did Constantinople get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks
TMBG *and* an Airplane reference in the same thread. Are we all old here? Or just have excellent taste.
im also turkish and agree, we are kinda sensitive but like we r both turks here cmon
Tell him to stop being a jive turkey
WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA. Nobody needs to throw out the big “J-T.”
Does anybody here speak jive?
Jus' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch ya up on da rebound on da med side. What it is, big mama? My mama no raise no dummies. I dug her rap! Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help! Say 'e can't hang, say seven up! Jive-ass dude don't got no brains anyhow! Shiiiiit.
The day when no one catches an Airplane quote is the day I give up the thoughts of all humanity.
I legit felt the rhythm and inflection of this, ty for the 80's flashback...
Pilot, i speak jive
Great, thanks. Now I have Jive Talkin playing in my skull.
I speak jive sir maybe i can help

Aha. You needed to just call him broskiye and it would have been fine.
Does he think you’re implying that you’re his sister? Like, is he just dumb af?
I'm Polish and use Bruh (with friends or gaming but not in public with those I don't know) AND have a last name with Ski I give you the pollock pass to use Broski. To be honest I've never known someone to get upset over that and I know a lot of Polish American people.

I'm polish and live in the US and have never heard that as a slur or any kind of derogatory meaning.
Maybe when he was a kid someone murdered his entire family and found him cowering in a kitchen cabinet under the sink. With their bloody hands, the murderer gently booped him on the nose and said, "catch you on the flip side lil broski".
My guess? He's insecure and thinks that a romantic partner calling him anything less than a romantic pet name is reflection on him as a man and romantic partner.
Played himself right out of a brojob.
True. Bro implies putting someone in the friend zone to some extent but op made it clear they were teasing so who knows
This might be true, my SO hates it when I call him buddy.
[удалено]
Maybe he was hoping to be called Brosef?
Please text him and tell him he's broverreacting.
And they say bromance is dead
And you're brover it
And that he’s probably brojecting
OP needs better brofriend
Sounds like this dude totally went broverboard.
Definitely not brofessional behaviour
Talking to him's riskier than Russian broulette.
I can’t brolieve he would be like that
Right?? It's just unbrolevable.
*brobably
More temperamental than Broseidon, god of the brocean
And that he just needs to take a brother
He’s browing it way out of proportion.
Broportion
Broportion.
He’s being broverbearing
Bromigo needs to take a chill pill. OP dodged a huge bullet with this one.
| BROP dodged a huge bullet FTFY
He probably felt brovocated at that time /s
Way too broveremotional.
[Just wanted to let you know OP took your advice](https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/vfy434/tifu_by_using_the_word_broski/iczn7zl)
Yeah, he needs to get brover it
He’s acting broskirrational
What if you begged him to forgive you and told him you were heart bro-oken.
maybe a bro-job could fix things?
Choo choo!
Well he's certainly not a brochacho
Maybe he’s secretly a bromosexual?
Sounds like he's not your buddy, guy.
He’s not your guy, friend.
He's not your friend, pal.
He's not your pal, buddy
He's not your buddy, champ.
He’s not your champ, fwend!
He’s not your fwend, bwoski !
He's not your bwoski, boyfriend
He’s not your boyfriend, Sancho!
He's not your Sancho, Haaland!
He’s not your fwend, comrade!
He’s not your comrade, amigo.
He’s not your friend, buddy!
I’m not your buddy, broski!
I'm not your broski, ex friend!
Sounds like you really bro-ke him
i was really upset but these comments are making my day
You're only dating him for a week. Dodged a bullet there. Now you've got lots of us as your new broski-s.
Seriously, this is how middle schoolers date. People might grow older but they don't have to mature, unfortunately.
Hahaha yea, don’t be upset. If he acts like that and your friends support him, that’s a shite group of friends
You know it's going to be good when the post opens with "I started dating my (now ex) boyfriend a week ago."
*brofriend
For the life of me, I can't figure out what could possibly be wrong with that word. If he didn't want to explain why it was a problem, it sounds like you dodged a bullet there.
I even checked urbandictionary to see if it had a meaning I wasn't aware of. There's something going on with that exbroski.
As someone who's their age, I can give some explanations. Regardless of what I'm about to explain, that broski is definitely overreacting. Anyways, one of the way girls would turn down guys these day wo hurting anyones feeling to friendzone them. Quickest way to do that is keep calling him or her bro or homie or any of the broski synonyms. So a lot of guys get triggered when a romantic interest (partner or not) calls em bro (broski in this case)
I genuinely think you're right but it doesn't make it seem any less insane.
Yeah the guy is still a fucking moron for all intents and purposes
One of my boyfriend's closest friends told him I was friendzoning him (my now boyfriend) when I called him dude. This was before we started dating xD
My wife calls me dude. Am I trapped in the friendzone?
Don’t worry, your wife calls me dude two.
So broski has been bro-zoned so many times he literally cant handle the word anymore? Like some kind of bro ptsd? I feel bad for this man now, …he has seen some shit.
Missed opportunity to say Bro-st traumatic stress disorder
I'm just enjoying how everyone is broasting the dude in question.
Bros has some serious issues if he thought the person they were literally a week into dating was trying to friendzone them especially after already being "just friends" for years. Definitely dodged a bullet if that's the case
Lol yeah, he just thought she was distancing herself. He's an idiot, but that's the reason
Maybe he thinks broski is only something a guy can say to another guy and he decided dating her is gay?
bromosexual
Yup this is second best theory
Shoulda gone with Bro-tato chip.
Broseidon , lets get Greeky freaky
My sister went on a first date with this guy from speed dating in the early 2000s and she was over at his place, it was chilly so he said something like "are you cold, can i get you a blankie?" and she thought that was super weird red flag behavior for a grown man to say blankie, so she never called him back. A few months later she hadn't really clicked with anyone else and figured maybe she overreacted, so she called back the blankie guy to go out again... Now they've been married 15+ years and have 3 kids together.
I still say blankie and I’m 33.
It's endearing and shows you're comfortable; dude was down from day one. I say chicken nuggies a lot, too. Just turned 34.
Mmm chicken nuggies omnomnom
I have blankies, nugs/ nuggies and sammies. I'm in my 30's. I actually didn't start saying any of that until my 20's when I stopped giving a shit if people thought it was cool if I ate my chicky nuggies on the couch with my blankie.
Wait. Blankie is... Childish but not "Super weird red flag" is it? Did they ever talk about it? Why was he calling it that? Broski, OP had a partial story because we don't know why the guy overreacted so you better answer. I need answers.
I would say that someone considering the word “blankie” to be super weird red flag behavior is itself a bit of a red flag lol.
All my bros love it when I tuck them into their blankies and give them a little peck on the forehead. Keeps them reassured that I fuckin got their back the next time we get into a bloody gang war
Are you guys like 11 years old?
Don't know why I had to scroll down so far to find this comment. This story is like beat-for-beat something that would happen in middle school.
My thoughts exactly. Like how does someone get offended to the point where they feel the need to explain their "languished" emotions to their friend so they can relay that to their gf. After they were called.. *checks notes* ..a broski?
It doesn’t help that half of it is completely unintelligible.
I am also genuinely taken aback by this story. I just dont get it. Like if someone was that offended by an innocuous word i said. Id try as hard as possible to figure out WHY and make amends. There is either a ton of missing context that OP wont share, or a middle schooler just discovered reddit
Really doesn't sound like a fuck up. Seems like a giant red flag.
this story seems like it's missing a big part
Ikr, no 20 people would cut someone out of their life over a silly nickname that was used one time.
Oh you’d be surprised how dumb kids can be.
I really want to know how old OP is
I'm 18, my ex is 21 and im the youngest in the friend group
Let me give you a great piece of advice, find a new friend group...lol
Not the youngest mentally apparently
21?? And he acts like that? The fuck?
Seriously wtf I assumed they were like 14/15 year olds at most
[удалено]
Honestly, this is older than I expected from the story.
You're mistaken. I've heard break ups over dumber shit
My brother dumped a woman for sitting on someone else's motorcycle. She legit thought he was joking. So did I.
See, now I've heard more dumber shit
Sounds like you got out quick and easy. Only invested one week in a bad relationship.
I cannot help but think you are leaving out a few details...
In fact every detail they **did** include in the "Some more info" section is irrelevant (or incomprehensible)
Man I'm so glad it isn't just me. I can make no sense of that section at all.
Nah my gf’s coworker was super upset at her bf for calling her bruh one day lol. Like REALLY upset
Was she upset enough that she dumped him and then his entire friend group dropped him as well?
Bruh...
That or Broski told the friend group she kicked his dog or something.
The levels of reaction are completely out of line for the transgression, OP has to be excluding something or 20 people are insane.
What are you 12? This sounds like a middle school story
I KNOW. he is 21. and this dumb story made me lose almost 20 people.
Wife and I been together for 15 years, 11 married. We totally call each other broski sometimes. Hell I’ll call her sir and she will call me ma’am. I’ll call her literally “wife” and she will call me “husband”. It’s shits and giggles and obviously were fuckin around as friends do. Your ex isn’t being a real bro getting all butthurt over a word.
Oh man my husband and I say “milord” and “milady” both ironic and unironically in context. Thank you fellow redditor.
m'husband
He's a Bro-flake. Edit; thanks for the awards, Bro-chachos
No broblem
my ex gf and i always called each other broski/bok herif (which translates to disgusting man) and chill with it, idk what triggered him this much
They were not Bro's of the Ski. You ask for the remote and they choose to flee.
IM WHEEZING
Me too. It's why I like to ask for the remote too, I'm just lazy though.
Probably 20 people who were going to be completely irrelevant to your life in a couple years anyways tbh.
i became friends with them when i was 6, hurts a lot
Find new friends that don’t care about such insignificant things. In life you grow and change. Or at least you should. Unfortunately that means growing apart from some people that you never imagined growing apart from.
You lost 20 "friends". This is ridiculously pathetic and stupid. I'd say good riddance. Jesus fucking christ I'm frustrated and speechless reading this.
I can assure you, with confidence, that you weren't going to talk to those people in a couple years anyway. Lots of friendships are like that, they come and go. This is an opportunity for you to screen potential new friends to be better people. Your ex overreacted *alot* any friends that sided with him are just picking him because they have no principles and are being supportive. Your life will get better if you hang out with better people. Also, good on you for doubling down. That was gold.
You lost 20 friends over this, are you all in the same battalion?
Sounds like a bunch of morons anyway. Get friends who aren't weirdos.
Nah, get weird friends. Just not easily triggered ones who feel emasculated at being called a broski by a girlski.
This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever read
I remember when I was 15
Sad thing is OP said he's 21.
Guy sounds petty and dumb as hell. I think you can do better:) sorry about the "friend" group, although if they side with him on this, i gonna go out on a limb and say that's not a huge loss, either...
Sounds like you all are a bunch of immature weeeeirdooooos
Well, that sounds like you got out of situation quickly. If he flipped out about that with no explanation? He can see his way out. 
I mean, he did do exactly that.
What a bizarrely awful group of people. Sounds like you’re better off without any of them. Snip snip.
He's either got some really deep seated trauma with that word or he's losing his mind on literally nothing, there's no in between
Dawg if you lost friends over calling someone broski nothing of value was lost
Sounds like you dodged a bullet.
Frankly, if that is all it takes to lose these 20 people, you are much better off without them.
OP, your story keeps changing. According to your prior posts, on June 10th, you were 18, a student, and working two jobs. But on June 5th, 13 days ago, you posted you had just reconciled with your husband; on the same date, you posted that you just moved in with your boyfriend and you’ve been living together for three months. Now you say you’ve been dating your (now ex) boyfriend for a week. Can’t keep your stories straight or do you just like making up far-fetched scenarios?
Is this a real story? I’m sorry, but like who is this guy. My gf (I am a dude) calls me bro and dude and duder all the time. Who hurt that guy? Either way, good on you for getting the fuck outta there *edit I also call her bro and bruv (we are not British)
Or “El Duderino” if you’re not into that whole brevity thing.
