I need to satisfy my curious instincts...

Why do many of you call each 'bro' and 'sis?'

You see, being a Brit, those sort of names are relayed to blood people, so I did just wonder why this happens...

Because for me, it is false, I would never want a person online who i had never met, to have the same title as my borther....

So, if anybody can clarify, being a thick Brit, I would appreciate it...

I have a good friend that refers to me as his "brutha from anutha mutha." I always get a kick out of that.

sometimes friends are more like family than your actual family due to a mutual bond between you and them , as a rule, a friend is someone you like/ get on with, this is not necessarily true with a member of your family.

I don't necessarily say sis or bro but I have a tendency to call those that I am close to hun, sweetie, darlin', etc. Just terms of endearment I believe.wave teddybear
