Me, calling my sister:

"Hey."

No response

"HEY!"

No response

"HEY, DICKLIPS!"

"What?"

There is a Folgers ad that is written by people who do not have siblings, and performed by actors who want to fuck each other.

Aw man, I love how you just said "extended cut". It took me a looooong time to realize it's a parody.

I love the implication that there is no "real coffee" in west Africa, despite it being in the coffee belt (in contrast to the USA)

I don't think I've ever called my brother "bro". I call my friends "bro" all the time.

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

Idk, I definitely call both my brothers bro, but I'm also 10 yrs younger than one and 21 yrs older than the other. They're also both half-bros tho, so maybe that's it

I've also used brochacho here and there since learning it

Luckily, though an only child, I had plenty of friends with siblings and I quickly caught on to that 'sis' or 'bro' was never used in anything except the most facetious fashion.

We just called each other cunts

Maybe we should just stay bad at writing siblings. Let them keep this one, as a treat.

I just use my sibling's first name most of the time.

[–] Xanthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

Same, but every year, they get a shorter and a longer nickname.

It's called exposition. How else are lazy writers supposed to explain the relationship?

Me and my sister call each other “trash” (sounds better in our language). We constantly make jokes about the other being trash (I.e “I gotta take the trash out” with a subsequent “why do you need to go out?”) etc.

We’re in our 20s

I was partial to, "Hey, fucko."

[–] Godnroc@lemmy.world 28 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Weird. I greet mine like Mufasa on the edge of the cliff. "BROTHER!"

I have yet to be thrown to my doom.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

My brother and I greet each other by straight-up shouting each other's names. Sometimes we go back and forth in increasingly-angry tones, before finally ending with a sweet and gentle, "... hi."

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 25 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

My family has fully adopted the Buster Bluth, "Hey brother", "hey sister", "hey cousin".

My older brother and I never greeted each other except with nonverbal communication, IE hitting each other.

i have a lot of siblings, and the only time ive ever called any of them "sis" or "bro" is when my older step brother and i make fun of the "step bro" memes

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 18 points 3 weeks ago

Uh huh. 🧐

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Since we're taking a poll in these comments, my go tos for my brother are "Hey Brotato" and "Hey Broseph", while my sister gets called her shortened first name (which she doesn't even go by, and hates, haha). Only time she gets sis is if I'm feeling silly and yell "Oi Sis!!!" with a vague cockney or pirate accent for some reason.

I call both of my siblings shitass (or poopbutt when their kids are around) because my dudes guess what they do with their asses

"Oh dearest sister" is for when you want something. "Hey" is the standard greeting.

[–] 5in1k@lemm.ee 13 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

My sisters say hey sis to eachother. I’ll ask em if it’s making fun of this or if it’s real next time I see them.

Weird, I've always called my sister 'sis' and my sister calls me 'bro'

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 10 points 3 weeks ago

bold of you to assume the conversations i have with my siblings include coherent words of any kind

[–] dovahking@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Hey fuckface! I'll have your oats now.
