For definition 1 (derogatory):
"She ain’t even Navy but has sailor tattoos on her thigh after they eloped… classic bremelo behavior."
For definition 2 (positive/neutral pride):
Dude’s a straight Bremelo: just got back from six months OTD in Japan, worked straight 80s the whole time, and when he touched down he bought a niiice bike even though he literally just bought one less than a year ago.
My new shop buddy said ‘Yo, you shoot?’ so I respond about checking out some local gun shops, to which he responds "Nah"— this Bremelo sends me some random GPS coordinates for the middle of literally nowhere on some logging road. I pull up and it’s like twenty trucks in a circle, coolers on tailgates and Filipino BBQ going. Someone’s blasting rap, r&b and some random anime music. We shot for about six hours, burned probably two grand in ammo, and nobody was keeping score. That’s when I knew I was rolling with real Bremelos.”
They invited this random Bremelo to the range, on the surface looks like a normal weeaboo girl -- who likes san-x, has a blinged out phone, huge plush keychains and pastel colors. You assume she’s just the homies’ tag-along girlfriend or a “dependapotamus” to hang around and just watch the guys shoot... She brought her own gear and calibrates it from 100 to 500 yards like it’s nothing, without any help from the guys! It felt like was straight out of a scene! I found out she doesn't even watch anime even though her style says otherwise...

Bremelin
One of the sweetest silliest most beautiful girls you will ever meet. She's not the best at expressing her emotions but will show love in the best way she can. If she likes you consider yourself one of the luckiest people alive. Never let her go, no matter what.
