brus


abbreviation for "brother" used mainly amongst teenagers in Darwin, especially indigenous teenagers: "How are you going?" "Yeah, deadly brus". Also, bruss.

Contributor's comments: I used to hear this all the time when I lived in Darwin, often paired with 'Gammon', ie 'That's gammon brus', meaing either that you're lying or what you're talking about is stupid/lame.
