- dieselgate 4y agogood observation thanks for bringing that up. edit: that's kind of the reason I ask this question - there is nuance between "positive" and "negative" use of bro. I hear (mostly younger males) use the term all the time in public and it's just how people talk at times and ages (of course this plays into our negative perception of the word as assume the HN crowd is older than 18)
- d1sxeyes 4y agoI'm not what you mean here... in both cases, 'bro' is a noun. 'Crypto bro' is a noun phrase where 'crypto' is an 'attributive noun' (functioning similarly to an adjective).
