Bromance is a slang term increasing in popularity, but what exactly does it mean? Simon Dumenico wrote a funny article on bromance recently over at The Huffington Post. He describes bromance this way:
“Homosexuality, of course, used to be known as the love that dare not speak its name–until, thanks to the gayification of pop culture, it became the love that wouldn’t shut the hell up. Now the man crush (a heterosexual male’s feelings of platonic love for another man) and the bromance (when those feelings are reciprocated) are coming out of the closet in a major way.”

If you’re still not sure what bromance is, I wrote this poem to explain it to you…
Bromance
by Edie Montgomery-PoolWhat is “bromance?”
You might say:
A love between two dudes
Not gayThere’s no dating,
No holding hands;
Just drunk guys stating,
“I love you man.”
