100 years ago when I was a kid one of my gaming buddies, the darkest black kid in town, would greet me the very pasty mixed kid with "greetings my dear 100% biological brother, how has your day been?"

[-] Jerkface@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Your friend sounds awesome. Did you guys stay in touch?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 11 points 3 days ago

His brother you mean

[-] Grass@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

somewhat. he moved to the interior and has 4 kids and hasn't been gaming

[-] BootLoop@sh.itjust.works 58 points 3 days ago

I greet them as "brother fullname" to make them sound like they're a monk or priest or something.

Brother Maynard, bring up the Holy Hand Grenade

[-] davidagain@lemmy.world 15 points 3 days ago

Armaments, chapter three, verses 15-25.

Then didst the lord smite the evil hordes and banish them <"skip a bit, brother">, erm, ahem...

And lo, shalt thou take the holy hand grenade and removest thou the pin.

Next shalt thou count to three, three being the number of thy counting.

Count thou not four, neither count thou two, unless thou proceedeth forththence to three. Five... is right out.

Then, having counted unto three, shalt thou lob the holy hand grenade at thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.

No, three, sir! Three!

The most common greeting between brothers is usually "Hey dumbass"

[-] Aljernon@lemmy.today 6 points 2 days ago

My sister always leads in with "comrade brother"

[-] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 8 points 2 days ago

“Sup fucker”

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago

My siblings and I greet each other like Buster Bluth talking to Tina Belcher.

"hey brother"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

[-] NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

My brother and I do say “Hey, brother.” To each other all the time, but it’s specifically because of Buster Bluth.

[-] flandish@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

“hey man” - what i say to my little bro “hey homo” - what bro says back to me. odd cause he’s actually gay.

[-] Honytawk@feddit.nl 2 points 2 days ago

It is always projection, isn't it?

[-] chatokun@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago

Most of my siblings say my name, though my younger brother does often say hey bro (we didn't grow up together, my father has been round). For a while I called my father "father person" and he called my older brother and I #1 son and #2 son, but not as a ranking, just a statement of our birth order.

[-] Flocklesscrow@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Narrator: it was also a ranking.

[-] Natanael@infosec.pub 6 points 2 days ago

Dumb nicknames, definitely

[-] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 3 days ago

"Huh, figured you would have killed yourself by now."

Yeah, not all families are happy ones.

[-] hash@slrpnk.net 13 points 3 days ago

"Oi, bitch."

[-] kadaverin0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Us now as 40-somethings: Hey. What's good?

Us as teenagers in the late 90s: Sup, cracker? You busy being a homo and shit?

We are white.

[-] kogasa@programming.dev 10 points 3 days ago

"Hey" "Hey"

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I sometimes do "hello identical twin" because it's very stupid so I love it.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 days ago

Bonus points if it's not actually an identical twin. Or twin

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No bonus points, haha! It's my actual identical twin.

[-] 5in1k@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 days ago

My sisters say “hi sis” all the time.

Welcome to /c/Tumblr

All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not CursedThis isn’t your personal call-out post.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited

Rule 2: No Forbidden PostsSome things belong in the drafts forever. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
  • NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.
