What is a Brosef?

A brosef is someone that speaks to you informally as a peer.
A brosef is That Guy you see on the street, baggy pants, too much swagger in his walk, who calls other guys "bro" and says hello by saying "'sup" and meaning it in a non-ironic sense. Sometimes there are baseball caps involved.
Very non-ironic. They drink horrid drinks. They refer to things as "ghetto" but have never been to one, nor do they know of the etymology of the word.
Their speakers are inevitably loud, and they are inevitably white.

Be on the lookout for the faux-sensitive brosef. They might seem emo but it's all a ploy to have sex.
