Braddah: This means brother. Sometimes it refers to your bros or your friends. I'm sure this is a colloquial version or a pidgin-English/slang version of what most folks might call 'surfer dude' talk, but it is common for non-surfers to use this pronunciation too. The real word for man or boy is Kane.
To funny. It almost reads as ghetto-talk.

It comes across like Jamaican.
ReplyDeleteI know I've heard this thrown around in my local area, and I always wondered what that came from!
ReplyDeleteSounds Jamaican to me too!
ReplyDeleteI have heard this phrase/pronunciation, but I had no idea where it originated from. How interesting! Thanks for sharing. :)
