What it means
A dismissive way to refer to someone, usually to belittle them, brush them off, or act like their opinion does not carry much weight.
Usage examples
"Look, I think we really ought to plan out a work schedule for this group project. It is a pretty hefty one, you know. Yeah, whatever you say, lil bro."
"Nobody asked you, lil bro, sit this one out."
"He tried to lecture the coach and got a flat calm down, lil bro."
Where it comes from
A clipped lil for little tacked onto bro. Spun from the affectionate little-brother tag into a put-down, it belittles someone by casting them as the small, junior one who ought to pipe down.
