A moment of pause and accountability between friends — usually British, usually blunt — where someone asks whether the person in front of them is actually solid or not. A bruv check can be verbal ('bruv, are you actually good?') or situational (watching how someone behaves under pressure to see if they're really your people). It's less about distrust and more about making sure everyone's on the same page before proceeding with whatever chaotic plan is being floated.
