Definitions
A lax bro is the archetypal stereotype of a male lacrosse player — typically prep school or college-aged, wearing a mesh shorts-and-backwards-cap combo, with a flow haircut spilling out from under the brim. The lax bro persona includes being casually overconfident, aggressively chill, and fluent in a very particular dialect of American frat-adjacent slang. Not all lacrosse players are lax bros, but every school with a lacrosse team has at least a few. The term is affectionately mocking as often as it is sincere.
You could spot the lax bros a mile off at the party — mesh shorts, lacrosse pinnies, and absolutely no inside voices.

- brohawk62%
A portmanteau of 'bro' and 'Mohawk' describing a faux-hawk or full Mohawk hairstyle worn by the stereotypical frat-bro type — think backwards caps, cargo shorts, and protein shakes. The brohawk signals a guy who wants to look edgy without committing to full punk credibility. It peaked in the mid-2000s to early 2010s but the term lives on as a reliable way to describe that specific aesthetic choice.
