bronado alley 

A high-risk or high-frequency bronado zone. Possible high-risk areas include: sports bars, sporting events, establishments with free or bottomless drinks, party busses, fraternity houses, bachelor parties, buffets, VIP areas with bottle service, and pretty much anywhere bro-iness and substance use create ideal bronado conditions. It should be noted that being located inside any of the aforementioned areas means you are deep into the danger zone and should take emergency measures. If possible, seek a nearby bronado shelter.

*See also: bronado, bronado shelter
It's generally a bad idea to pass through that bronado alley — especially after the bars close. I must've seen at least 5 bronados the last time I ventured into that bar.

bronado shelter 

Designated bronado-free safe havens. Examples of effective bronado shelters: libraries, farmers markets, museums, art installations, hipster-occupied coffee shops

Unlike tornado shelters, there's no universal wayfinding signage to guide you to safety, so emergency preparedness and education are key to ensuring your safety. Bronados form when a group of amped bros form together. Be on the lookout for visible warning signs, including but not limited to: drunken high fiving, fist pumping, backward caps, v-neck or popped collar shirts, excessive hair product and/or cologne. Audible clues include loud use of the words bro, champ and boss.
Good thing we saw that bronado shelter, otherwise we could've been subjected to high fives and found ourselves at a party with beer pong.
