"Bruh" is still "bruh." "Bro" is, IMO, as artificial and as misguided as
"African-American" and as fucked up as misspelling "hunky" as "honky"

literary version of BE that escaped my notice while I was devoting my
primary- and secondary-school years to learning "standard" English as a
second dialect? - to Black English. WTF!

I had to go over that paragraph a couple of times to parse it, finding my
