/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.
Streetballer ‘The Professor’ is talking more and more brive as his audience gets younger.
