My mother would probably shoot back at you with something far wittier.
I believe that labels, regardless of what they are, are pointless and a person has no need to get upset by them. There is nothing that you could call me (in the lingustic sense of the word) that would upset me. The intent that you have behind it, though, is different.
For example, in college if my buddy wanted to spend the night with some woman in our room, and I needed to wake up early the next day, a comment of "bros before hos, dude" would make him think twice and change his actions in order to support his friend (who has known him, and been there for him, far longer than this random chick that he picked up). However, used in the context of, oh I don't know, maybe referring to his
wife , then it would be different and possibly offensive.
Regardless, words are not offensive. They are l-e-t-t-e-r-s that are placed together to represent a physical thing or idea. Anyone who is offended by any word, on the basis of what the letters spell alone, needs thicker skin.

"bros before hos" is generally used in a negative manner anyway (got my heartbroke, friend ditched us for girlfriend etc etc)
so, it's not "friends are put before good, logical girls"
but rather "friends are put before hurtful, lying, etc etc etc"

That's exactly how everyone I know uses it.

Now, you can say you dont keep your guy away from his friends, but its the guys choice to go after what he wants from the female than with the boys. This is whats assumed and i use that word on purpose. Just lighten up people, it relates entirely to the phrase "pussy whipped" and if your offended by that phrase as well.. well then im sorry.

Amen, brother.
