Spread & Usage

The phrase appeared on Urban Dictionary in 2003, with a bunch of other, similar definitions written on it later.
With the height of the bro culture, the expression has also spread far and wide, most likely due to the obsession of “bros” with well-toned, ripped bodies.
The rise of hip hop culture in the late 90’s and early 2000’s had also contributed significantly to the spread of the term.
