Brollak
A close-knit, inseparable group of friends or peers who share a bond so fiercely loyal and supportive that they function as a chosen family or brotherhood.
Etymology: A modern portmanteau blending the English slang "bro" (from brother, meaning a close friend) with the Albanian suffix "-llak," used to denote a state of being, collectivity, or shared societal bond (as in vllaznillak or shoknillak). The term bridges contemporary urban slang with traditional roots to describe a collective brotherhood in a modern group setting.

We've been through thick and thin since middle school; that's not just a group chat, that's the brollak.
