Brother
When a man refers to all other men as 'Brother' is this a term of endearment? A way to keep out of trouble? Or is he taking away any sexual misunderstanding and stating his claim as heterosexual?
I've been watching LOST and one character does this, but I've never heard him call anyone 'Sister' (female obviously)
What do you think?

Its just another way of calling someone pal or buddy or it could be applied on a deeper level to someone who is a very close friend but isn't your actual brother

That's what I thought until I saw this chap on Lost. He literally calls every man 'brother'. He barely knows them, as he was a newbie. I guess it's just him then

He is an intellectual and eschews the term "bud''.
Could be worse, I can remember a time and a place where Irish guys called each other " horse''.
Hey horse!
Alright horse?
I think I might also have been called captain and one guy still calls me boss(I am not his boss).
There can be a mild sneer inbuilt in these terms (not so much in brother though)
In the far west, in the past, I have also heard, a vick and mock.
These terms have nothing to do with jeering at people who rub stuff on their chests.
Rather they are Irish terms, a mhic and mac, meaning son and would be addressed to a younger male.
Maybe I'll just do a John Wayne /Rooster Cogburn and call everyone '' Pilgrim ''.
Btw, I lost ;-) a significant portion of my life watching that Lost nonsense.
I avoided similar type American series after that.
