Line 138:

* '''Emmer.''' Non-standard genderqueer term for sibling.

* '''Sib.''' Short for sibling. Equivalent of bro or sis.

* '''Bro.''' Short for brother. This one is taking advantage of sexism/ the male standard in language to use a more masculine term as a way to casually refer to siblings in general. The casualness of the abbreviation might make it slightly less gendered than the full word ‘brother’. Sometimes people associate ‘bro’ with fraternities and irresponsibility.

* '''Broster.''' This can be a mashup of ‘'''bro'''ther’ and ‘si'''ster'''’. It can also come from ‘bro’ with the suffix ‘ster’ added. Some people might associate ‘broster’ with ‘bro’.

* '''Sib.''' Short for sibling. Equivalent of bro or sis. "Sibby" could be a casual form.
