The act of taking a relationship with a male friend to the next level.

Jack: Me and Sarah broke up man
Josh: Oh dude. im sorry
Jack: I thought she was the one
Josh: Yeah dude, she sucked your dick
Jack: I really loved her
Josh: Dude, you always got your bros man
Jack: Yeah I know
Josh: You always got your bros, you'll go from girl to girl, but you always got your bros
Jack: I love you man
Josh: Me too, but I'm not gay
Jack: Dude, I know
Josh: Yeah, sorry
(They man hug. Josh then lightly punches Jack on the shoulder to show that he's not gay)
