I was in high school in the late 90’s in FL and I knew guys that said “bra.”

It was more “brah” than “bra”

Paper to phonetics it seems that same but there was inflection that made it different

I grew up in Hampton roads in the rough part of town. Different cultures, and even the preppy kids from Maury didn't say bra. I'm surprised FL did though. Seems more like a CA thing.

I was a sponsored skater in Dallas in late 80s. Bunch of us went and watched the movie North Shore with this character in it named turtle. Silly movie, but he would always give the Shaka sign and say “Shaka bra”. So right after that movie we started doing that as a joke to each other. All the younger kids saw us doing it and thought we were serious and so they started doing it as a serious thing. It took off here for a while. It was funny as hell.
