  I know it’s just a meme but where did that graph come from? The only similar site I could find was Google N-Gram and it shows a small bump around 1850 (a fraction of current use)

  While looking into it I also discovered the “use” of bruh it notes is from English-French pronunciation guides. Kinda interesting

    Thanks for checking it

    I sort of wanted to do so myself but I am not super familiar with the process and just enjoyed the meme.

    Sadly it looks like a false meme but the lol for me was real, haha. But the fact that a small bump exists at all is amazing.

    Was it being used as bro?

      From what I saw it was used to phonetically write French words. Like “Zebra: ZEE - bruh” (can’t remember any of the French words). It was/is apparently a surname.

      I wasn’t trying to discredit it or anything, I was just wondering what other “words over time” sites there were
