What does "brolic" mean in African American slang?
The structure is a simple adjective of uncertain origin, possibly a blend of "brother" and "hulk" or an alteration of "brawlic" (muscular), but its exact roots are unclear. It is used in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and hip hop culture to describe someone who is muscular and physically strong, often implying a naturally large, athletic build rather than a lean or cut physique.
Examples
Yo, he came back from the summer looking mad brolic after hitting the gym every day.
