The Good Reverend's Vocabulary Lesson #1

 Thare quite a few people out there who throw words and phrases around because it's the "now" thing to say. Well, that's bullshit. One shouldn't use words/phrases that they do not understand. Drives me fucking banana sandwich. This is where I step in. Every so often, I intend to impart some vocabulary knowledge on our readership. Starting with a word that so many misuse.

 Brother/Brotherhood.

Brother, as defined by Merriam Webster

1

: a male who has the same parents as another or one parent in common with another

2

: one related to another by common ties or interests

3

: a fellow member —used as a title for ministers in some evangelical denominations

4

: one of a type similar to another

Brotherhood, as defined by Merriam Webster,

1

: the quality or state of being brothers

2

: fellowship, alliance

Now, sure, there's two more definitions, but I'm not concerned with those. Google that shit up if that's what you're into. 

What really gets me with this is that the guys who feel strongly enough about one another to call themselves brothers are the ones who don't act like ass hats in public. Should we acknowledge someone as a brother, you sure as hell don't hear the word "bro." If you respect a man enough to consider him a brother, you don't cheapen that title. We know where we stand with one another. We know what it is to lean on someone for help, to depend on someone when shit goes south, to be able to call someone after a while and pick up like you left off yesterday.
It's these arrogant assholes that are trying to feed off of what true brotherhood is. They want it, because they can't find it. They're all too shallow to understand it. The true brotherhood is mocked because if not, we have something intangible that cannot be bought, reproduced or mass marketed.

So don't call me your bro.



I ain't buyin' the shit you're sellin'.
