neologism: bromance

Hey all,
Yes, I sure am going there. The world of bromance. It has actually been popular for a long time (classic example is the movie Top Gun), yet the term bromance is new to our culture. The term is also known as homosocialism. Editor David Carnie is given credit for coining the term using it in the 1990s in reference to relationships that develop among skaters who spend a vast amount of time together.
