A playful slang term for a female friend or comrade — essentially a feminine version of 'bro.' Where 'bro' evokes the casual brotherhood of male friendships, 'broette' extends that same energy to women, acknowledging that women can have the same kind of easy, no-drama, ride-or-die friendships. It's affectionate and inclusive, and while it hasn't fully cracked mainstream usage, it circulates in online communities and among younger generations who find 'bro' too gendered.
My broette Maya has had my back since freshman year — she's the first person I call when anything goes wrong.
