ita, you're a little less frat-boy-ish than the coworker. And less of a graduate student as well.
Is he from Long Island or New Jersey? Would he hear "Livin' on a Prayer" and sing along?
I think no, not that kind of cheese. I don't know where he's from, actually.
Back when Shaq was just joining the NBA, I heard him use the term, and it just stuck with me. Of course, my
entire
rack of colloquialisms sound freakish and out of character, so really, what's that got going against it that "What up dog?" or "Inshallah" doesn't?

"What up, dog?" can only be used ironically now, I'm afraid. Sorry if you didn't get that memo.
Edit: Oh, and for poor Cheesy Coworker, it's not the using it ever working against him so much as the using it every day.

who DOESN'T do this. seriously.
Could someone explain the meaning and/or context of calling someone "brah"? I'm afraid I'm just thinking of feminine undergarments. Is it meant to be like "bro"?
Completely unrelatedly, happy birthday to JZ!

I prefer to sing along to "Blaze of Glory."
I am now earwormed with Living on a Prayer, god damn you, whoever brought it up.

I don't suppose he's using it with intentional irony?

Yes.
Ob-la-di, ob-la-da, life goes on, bra. La la how the life goes on
