bredren

n.
Brother; homeboy; close friend.

your friend, usually a close male firend. Can apply to a group of close friends.

Best friends, brothers, peers, family.

Historically; used in a familial sense. Plural form of brothers. Generally used in a sociological, religious, or cultural sense.

Has acquired a cultural meaning with the integration of African roots and history into other countries, especially in a Black Zionist context.

Originating from "brethren". The word has been associated with sects of, mainly Protestant, Christianity (for example; the Plymouth Brethren) but has taken on a wider and more-encompassing meaning when adopted as part of the Patois lexicon.

your brother, good friend, buddy,

1. The highest rank of bro. To refer to someone as your Leftenant Bredren is to refer to them as your best friend or wingman.

2. Right hand man.

CAN ALSO BE SHORTENED JUST TO LEFTENANT in casual form

ex.

"Hey leftenant how you doin today?"

bro rankings range from Maggot Bredren (someone you hate) to Leftenant Bredren (you're boy)

an individual, so universally down and with 'it' such that anyone and everyone with whom he is acquainted (hitherto referred to as ''the masses'') is his bredren'. Although used homeboys and girls everywhere, to whom the term's coinage ought to be attributed remains a matter under fierce contention.
