bros
Guys hanging out
Bros is the plural of bro, informal for brother or a male friend.
The term evokes casual male bonding and friendship: I'm hanging out with the bros tonight.
Bros often suggests a certain type of young man—athletic, sociable, perhaps fraternity-affiliated: a bunch of bros at the sports bar.
The singular bro functions as a greeting or form of address between men.
