Self-broware

An adjective used to describe a bro who has become aware of the fact that he is a bro. An amalgamation of "self-aware" and "bro."

This state of mind regularly coincides with the bro realizing that certain aspects of bro-culture are somewhat undesirable or offensive to most of the general populous. As such, many of those aspects, such extreme-aggressiveness, a super-inflated ego, throwing greek shit in everyone's face, and general douchiness are typically lessened or even absent when "self-browareness" is achieved.

While these negative traits are often lessened, most of the bro-qualities that do not directly impact other people remain. Partying, substance-use, excessive pink-polos, anything rugby or lacrosse, and a female-level of attention to one's own appearance are all bro-characteristics that remain largely unchanged when becoming "self-broware."

"So the the other night, I was drunk as fuck and hyped up on like 5 Xanax and I punched some tri-delt bitch in the face for sayin avicii's better than mah main bro skrillex. Bitch had it comin but then I spent the night in jail. I realized it was time for a change and I achieved self-browareness."

bragware 

\Èbrag-wer\ noun

Hardware or software features that will rarely, if at ever, see any actual use by the person who owns it (showing off to buddies not counting as actual use), but which either sound cool, or are thrown in for no apparent reason other than to give the marketing department something to add to the bullet list of features on the packaging or press release.

Similar to vaporware, except that instead of being something non-existent which is hyped, bragware is something that is hyped but you wonder why anyone would ever make it in the first place.

This GPS receiver has a great screen, the direction "reading" is well done, and the maps are excellent, but the built in map light is just bragware -- how often would anyone really use it?

Why on Earth would anyone put an MP3 Player in an electric screwdriver? I know they're dirt cheap to make now, but it's really just bragware, isn't it?
