Oof acknowledges someone’s feelings, and bruh expresses empathy. These sentiments are important and often overlooked. You don’t have to always launch into your own story. Simply acknowledging and empathizing is a powerful way to build social bonds.
Also brevity is the soul of wit, so oof and bruh might qualify as the greatest things anyone has ever said in history.
Does bruh express empathy? I’ve always read bruh as “bruh what are you doing” in a lot of contexts. But I can’t really say it’s something I use much.
I think it depends on how you pronounce it and context. I’m used to hearing a shorter bruh with a look attached to it as a question for “what are you doing?” vs a longer bruh like “bruuuuuuh” as empathizing like “that’s rough”.
Context is key. It can express empathy, or disappointment, or awe.
Context is always key.
In an in person conversation, that’s definitely true. Not so much online though.
nice to see a reasonable take on this
Oof
Bruh

Yes, not every talk is a conversation! Maybe I just want to vent and not to hear.

Me when the next generation comes up with slang and I don’t like it:
Ok, boomer
bros never heard about phatic expressions💀
This is like when people repeat the joke contributing nothing to the conservation.
Thats kinda the point
The way yanks use bro or bruh is like glass in my ear. Its so boorish and stupid sounding.
Sadly my 8 year old son has brought the term bruh home from school. I ask him not to use it but he does anyway.
The trick is to use it ALL. THE. TIME.
“Hey, bruh, good day at school? Brrrah brrrah 67 skibidi its your turn to clean the toilet.”
Thankfully 67 was squashed fast. Banned in the house, even his friends have stopped doing it here.
Yikes.
Wow
Me saying broof to actively take away from the conversation:
