/brīv/ origin: American, late twenty tens.
A portmanteau of bro and jive. It’s the ever increasing de facto speak of white millennial males. Basically a watered down version of jive meant to demonstrate a certain
African-American coolness in the speaker while still retaining a bro sensibility. A direct consequence of the identity void found in the
millennial generation. Notable examples include fitness personality Bradley Martin,
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and fake prank YouTubers RebelTV.
