TOP DEFINITION
An Ivorian proverb implying that when a woman addresses a man as 'brother,' she's not romantically interested. Essentially, being called bro is a one-way ticket to the friend zone.
"I asked her out and she said, 'You're like a brother to me.' Well, I know what that means – if she doesn't love you, she calls you brother."
