Like bromance.

Discovered it on another thread.

Never heard of it before.

Isn't it just a friend really?

I'm well old, me.

F3rgie · 25/04/2012 19:34

Brap is the 'sound' of gunfire its used in a positive sence usually with the gun hand gesture!

Salmotrutta · 25/04/2012 19:36

I'm only just getting used to "awesome" and "wicked"!

Onomatopaeia at it's finest.

Shouldn't it be more like "pffzzzt"

Bromance is different to friendship. Have you seen Sherlock on BBC? Sherlock and Watson are like a bromance. That kind of close loving relationship that is "just friends" but something else there, like you're brothers.
