People in Georgia and Washington State apparently don't have friends.
Liv3 WA, can confirm.
The large amounts of no-bro-zones scares me.
There's quite a few terms missing, bitch, homie & n - - - a are the ones that come to mind right away. I'd like to see the demographic distribution of the participants.
Damn, no representation for "babe", "bbgrl", etc? I use those a lot.
Georgians have no friends.
Speaking of brotymology, what's a gender neutral version of bro/man?
I use "fam".
they are kinda a gender neutral.
Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.
Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.

Mid Atlantic region just doesn’t like anyone.
We do not. So that is accurate!
In Florida I mainly hear the top 3.
Bottom 2 would probably get an odd look.
That's really interesting I never thought that something as simple as "bro" would be different in different states
The only thing this proves is that us here in the PNW truly do have less friends than the rest of our country men.
but it's made up for with the greater PNW polycule
