Byrd

"Byrd" (slang). The term coined in 2012, used widely among musicians on the west coast. Meaning "Compadre", "Dude", and "Word" (as in exclamation). According to the first documented use, two friends thought of the idea at the same time. One of them "Jamie Woolsey" was in Portland, Oregon attending college, while the other was some where in Long Island. They announced the word was the newest politically correct term (having no origins in race, gender, orientation, etc.) and widely spread throughout the U.S. as well as parts of Germany. "byrd" -The acronym originated after the word was coined- is thought by some to mean "Bring your ride down".
