Nickname for a guy. Slang from "brother" or "bruddha".

A combination of "bro" and "bud" spoken primarily by males who use them interchangeably and, hence, have difficulty picking between the two. A low-key term of endearment among friends.
"You gonna finish that last slice of pepperoni, brud?" "I couldn't steal Filly's girl — he's my brud."
