I noticed while watching the television show Dog the Bounty Hunter that he refers to lots of people as his "bra".
I think that this is just Hawaiian talk for "bro".
Am I right in thinking this? Does anyone know exactly what this means?

I think I've heard it being used before. Perhaps it has something to do with a regional accent.
As for 'Hawaiian talk' I have no clue.

It is.
Another common Hawaiian speech trait is to say 'ya' at the end of every question, just like a cartoon Russian puts 'no' at the end of every question.
"Eh bra, you goin' to buy more beer, ya?"
I feel like I'm learning so much about hawaiian culture :)
Thanks bras

The correct spelling is "brah", and it's best used when following the word "dude".

"Brah" is mostly used for other guys. I've never heard a girl referred to as a brah. It's popular amongst the type of people that pop the collar on their polo shirt, and wear boatshoes.

Re: dudebrah
who defines what the correct spelling is? It's a bastardization of a word. Spelling of that bastardization is open to interpretation. That's like telling Snoop Dogg that there's a right way and a wrong way of spelling 'bizzle'.
