bro job
n.— «John Waters: “A bro job is two straight boys having sex. You know, like, ‘Hey, bro.’ They don’t want to say they’re gay so they call it ‘bro job,’ which I think’s hilarious. It could also be a gay guy blowin’ a straight guy. [in fake shady voice] Hey want a bro job? ‘This means we’re straight.’ It’s a good one. It’s Friends with Benefits. Means the same thing.”» —“What is a “Bro Job”? : slang explained” by Julianne Shepherd Cowboy ‘n’ Poodles Dec. 7, 2006. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
