A term used by Nordic people, and sometimes Estonian people, to refer to the unique brotherly relationship between their countries. Usually visible on the internet in the event of two Nordic people encountering each other.
The term sometimes varies and Brøther or Brõther is used instead.

Swede: "Hello, where are you from?"
Finn: "I'm from Finland, how about you?"
Swede: "I'm from Sweden!"
Finn: "Bröther!"
One who has no talents or skills and relies on the welfare from a family member (usually little brother), for income, housing, and modicum of attention. These individuals refuse to work and will often mistake this welfare for personal success and attribute their misgivings to minorities.
"That bum is a total Brother Joe"
"C'mon dude he's not that bad, at least he sells cans for a living"
A person who expresses a misguided conception of masculinity (often involving racism and threats of violence) in order to hide their gay sexual orientation from others. These individuals often adopt “tough guy” personas such as bikers or rockers, and dress as such in a manner similar to cosplaying.
“There was this guy in my neighborhood who was always wearing Sons of Anarchy merch and threatening people with his brothers guns. But then we found out he was struggling internally with his sexuality; he was a Brother Joe the whole time.
A person who is devoid of talent or charm and therefore must rely on a close family member (usually a younger brother) to provide them with sustenance, shelter and attention.
Wow I didn't realize until recently what a Brother Joe I've become. It's time to getmy life together and stop being such a loser.
