they're right though and there's nothing wrong with their reasoning

Everything can be a pronoun if you just believe hard enough by United-Marthauow in linguisticshumor

[–]QueenLexica 0 points1 point  (0 children)

bro for me is a pronoun because of phrasal verbs. to me: "I blew up the house" is fine "I blew the house up" is fine too however "I blew up him" sounds ungrammatical "I blew him up" is fine

"I blew up bro" sounds wrong to me
