A casual term for a floater friend on discord — someone who moves between different groups but still is like your buddy when it suits them. They’re friendly, low-commitment, and easy to get along with, but not always reliable or consistently loyal. You’ll see them around, laugh with them, and vibe, but they’re not the one you’d count on when things get serious.
“Yeah he’s cool, just a k brud though — pops up everywhere but don’t really stick.”

N. v. a cuddle between two men of deep comraderie, or "brothers". Originally stemming from "bro-cuddle", the contraction was considered even manlier than the aforemention term, and therefore usurped its place at frat house mixers and tailgate parties alike.

One bruddle later, Nathan knew he had finally found a home in the fire station.
