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

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.
