I was upset that Kentucky didn't have much coverage, but then I realized that "Hosscat" wasn't one of the choices.

Eastern Pennsylvania apparently has no word for Bros.
It's just a nod and a quickly whispered "Go Birds."

Speaking of brotymology, what's a gender neutral version of bro/man?
Sib (as in sibling) is my preferred one.
I use "fam".
man is short for human
Hu-man from Earth
they are kinda a gender neutral.
Bro is fairly commonly used as gender neutral word.
Man (as in my man) does not have an equivalent (my person does not havve the ring) - but originally, man was the gender neutral term for persons, and we user mer (as in mermaid) / were (as in werewolf) for males. that is how man was used. But that very well could also be due to bias in writing and archiving of stuff, I don not know much about this.

Breh.
I'm apparently in the "Pal" region and it's not a word I use often to refer to people, nor have I heard it used often by others either.
We use "Dude" pretty often, but looking at the map you'd think this is a dude desert.
Further down the article this screen’s taken from, they show the raw data they got for “dude”, and its usage is pretty much everywhere.
Alaskans and Hawaiians are incapable of forming bonds of friendship.
Same
Washington and idaho as well apprently.
I am from Seattle.
Anecdotally:
This is correct.
People are absurdly transactional, performative and superficial about relationships and also very anti social compared to basically anywhere else I've ever been in the US.

Mid Atlantic region just doesn’t like anyone.
We do not. So that is accurate!

So, we're no longer using 'stud?'
Only for bros with benefits.
