Hello,
Can anybody help me to understand the bold text please?
Other-skin-colored guy who tipped you when you parked his Beamer: brother. Much like the oafishly careless, empty, and repetitious whomping of the once-specific, cherished, and singular word awesome, the sacred word BROTHER has become, in inept mouths, a dull and wearisome trope. (Awesome is the word one uses for Eleanor Roosevelt, Mount Kilimanjaro, and pitching a no-hit no-run ball game. Not available for the crappy cheese quesadilla you had this afternoon, or for anybody who Dances with the Stars. With or without a wooden leg.)
Same goes for yo bruth-thuh.

Thank you very much
