Bro
Answer:
DUDE
Hint:
Casual term for a guy you might greet with a fist bump or "what's up?"—often heard in surf or skate culture.
Explanation:
"Bro" is a casual term for a male friend, often used in place of "dude." Here, the clue plays on slang—both words mean the same thing, so the answer is simply another way to say it. Think of how you might greet a buddy: "What's up, bro?" or "Hey, dude?" They’re interchangeable in everyday talk.
