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 term emerged from online and gaming communities where women carved out space in spaces historically dominated by dudes.

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.
(slang) A male friend or companion of a lesbian.
(slang) A female comrade or friend.
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.
