A blending of 'bro' and 'friendship,' 'broship' describes the particular bond that exists between close male friends — the kind forged over shared experiences, mutual loyalty, and the unspoken understanding that certain things don't need to be said out loud. It's a lighthearted portmanteau that captures the bro-culture lexicon without taking itself too seriously, poking fun at the almost sacred weight men sometimes assign to their male friendships.
Years of gaming together, moving each other's furniture, and surviving bad road trips had built a broship that needed no explanation.
