Rest home coworkers (3 of 4): A Ghanaian.

The other week when I was passing by the kitchen, I walked a bit too close to one of my (Twi-speaking) Ghanaian coworkers.

"Excuse me, [his first name]!", I was like.

"No problem, bro," he was like.

. . .

I think he is experimenting with the word "bro" as a slang word between men, because he must have heard it somewhere and assumes that's mainstream English slang for most guys.
