There is a Folgers ad that is written by people who do not have siblings, and performed by actors who want to fuck each other.

Aw man, I love how you just said "extended cut". It took me a looooong time to realize it's a parody.

I love the implication that there is no "real coffee" in west Africa, despite it being in the coffee belt (in contrast to the USA)

I don't think I've ever called my brother "bro". I call my friends "bro" all the time.

[–] Psychodelic 23 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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

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.

Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.

I just use my sibling's first name most of the time.

[–] Xanthrax 9 points 1 month ago

Same, but every year, they get a shorter and a longer nickname.

It's called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?

And then you got warhammer 40k writers

[–] greedytacothief 8 points 1 month ago (4 children)

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.

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

Weird. I greet mine like Mufasa on the edge of the cliff. "BROTHER!"

I have yet to be thrown to my doom.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning 11 points 1 month ago

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."

[–] ChicoSuave 25 points 1 month ago (2 children)

My family has fully adopted the Buster Bluth, "Hey brother", "hey sister", "hey cousin".

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 call both of my siblings shitass (or poopbutt when their kids are around) because my dudes guess what they do with their asses

"Oh dearest sister" is for when you want something. "Hey" is the standard greeting.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago (3 children)

My sisters say hey sis to eachother. I’ll ask em if it’s making fun of this or if it’s real next time I see them.
