I think I've drank more Irn Bru than any alcohol since I flew into Scotland.

This thread is now about Irn Bru. It is an amazing drink.

I found it in a Celtic shop in North Carolina. You can also order it by the 12-pack from their importer. Of course, I'm pretty sure both of those were the kind that had their orange dye replaced with something less carcinogenic.

This thread's pretty much run its course, but I can't lock it until you've all helped me determine what the proper female form of "bro" is. We all know that the female form of "dude" is "dudette", and logic would suggest that the female form of "bro" would be "sis" or "broette", but "sis" doesn't convey that essential bro-ness, while "broette" is just awkward to say.

I'm leaning towards either "brosephine" (female of the relatively well-established "broseph") or "ladybro".

Thoughts?

Quote from: Urban Dictionary
Bro Ho

The female equivalent of a bro. Although native to the west coast, bro hoes can be found at almost any state school campus in the greater United States.

bro ho criteria:

-peroxide damaged hair
-orange skin
-lower back tattoo (often depicting a butterfly or hibiscus flowers)
-thinks UGGs go with everything
-wears skater and surf apparel but participates in neither activity
-wears velour track suits anywhere and anytime, including movie/dinner dates and church
-has a beer gut and wears jeans that are two sizes too small (see: muffin top).
-thinks spring break in Cancun qualifies 'well-traveled'
-has a naval piercing or naval piercing scar
-dates a guy who drives a lifted truck/SUV OR drives her own lifted truck/SUV
-butt crack and thong are always visible

+ 100 bro ho points if she listens to Linkin Park, Hoobastank, or any rap-rock fusion.

+ 1,000 bro ho points if she considers Britney Spears or Jenna Jameson a personal inspiration.

"Check out that bro ho in the Von Dutch hat -- her thong is hella cutting her lower back tattoo."

Female equivelant of bro is Biddie, bitty, biddy, bittie-snack, biddy-slice, freshman bittie,  or any variation thereof.

But it's definitively bittie in some form.
