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?
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Did I forget this?
Happy birthday, JZ!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"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.

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 totally downloaded some Bon Jovi over the weekend, for the sole purpose of singing along.
oooh! We gotta hold on! To what we got!
Of course, no one's mentioned my obvious favorite Bon Jovi song yet.
