A female friend who vibes with the more laid-back, casual energy typically associated with 'bro culture' — someone you hang with, watch the game with, grab beers with, without any romantic tension. The ladybro is the female equivalent of the bro: loyal, low-drama, down for whatever, and refreshingly chill. The term emerged from online and gaming communities where women carved out space in spaces historically dominated by dudes.

She's basically my ladybro at this point — we've got each other's backs no matter what.
Origin: Portmanteau of 'lady' and 'bro,' emerging in American internet and gaming culture in the 2000s-2010s as a way to acknowledge women who participated comfortably in traditionally male-coded social spaces. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
