What's the origin of the phrase "Let's get out of Dodge" ?

And uhm, what does the word "bromance" mean exactly?

From the Urban Dictionary:
1. get the hell out of dodge

To leave somewhere immediately, to evacuate or scram.

"Get the hell out of Dodge" is a reference to Dodge City, Kansas, which was a favorite location for westerns in the early to mid 20th century. Most memorably, the phrase was made famous by the TV show "Gunsmoke," in which villians were often commanded to "get the hell out of Dodge." The phrase took on its current meaning in the 1960s and 70s when teenagers began to use it in its current form.

I've been seeing a lot of that phrase lately, and I've never heard of it before!

Thanks, Ellen :)

Getting out of Dodge is a reference to Dodge City, Kansas. In a ton of Westerns (eg Gunsmoke), the bad guys would be told by the good guys to 'get the heck out of Dodge.' It became slang for leaving someplace in a hurry.

As for 'bromance?'

Fanfics are great for learning the use of English idioms *g*

I kept imagining people dodging bullets as they're leaving a place in a hurry.

Thanks, Ruth :)

Brotherly romance

I take it that you know who has been using that word recently? :DD

[trueshellz.livejournal.com]

=P

*GLEE!!*

[claudia603.livejournal.com]

Everyone else answered these questions so perfectly! I am amused by the term "bromance" ! :D

[layne67.livejournal.com]

*grins*

I guess the slash over at SPN is tottering on the brink of canon when the creator of the show himself used that word to describe the boys :))

[katikat.livejournal.com]

Heh, I think you saw Kripke's little introduction, then? I'm just happy that it means that the next ep will continue this ep's plot.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

That, and I've been seeing some icons with that word on them. But the man himself using that word, wow, and I wasn't sure of the meaning, different sites give slightly different meanings, but I love brotherly romance best!

:DD

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

But bromance is not necessarily incestious?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't, but it's close enough! Hee hee, bless Kripke :))

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Hee, more definations of bromance here (http://katikat.livejournal.com/606094.html) :DD

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

A close relationship between two bros to such a point where they start to seem like a couple.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[layne67.livejournal.com]

And now I cannot get that word out of my head.

You know, in Malay that word would mean "having sex", or least making out - beromen. Heheh.

A bastardized English word :DD

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

*chokes*

It's good we don't have a word sounding like that. :D

[prism2me.livejournal.com]

Bro-mance is used to deccribe the close friendship between two males. I first heard the term on Kyle XY.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

But it seems like it's coined from the word brother and romance LOL.

[munibunny.livejournal.com]

I don't thing "bromance" is intended to mean anything incestuous. It's more like a brotherly closeness that seems to border on romance?

[layne67.livejournal.com]

I guess that's the closest they could get, being on national TV and all. I didn't really watch that intro, didn't want to be spoiled, but someone mentioned that he used that word and of course the first thing that came to my mind was brotherly romance - 'romance' being the keyword rather than 'brotherly'.

:D

I love the term Bromance

from http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=bromance:

1. Bromance

Describes the complicated love and affection shared by two straight males.

2. Bromance

-noun
1. A non-sexual relationship between two men that are unusually close.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

And I love this -

verb -mans-ing
1. The act of wooing a fellow male friend for the purpose of becoming closer.
2. Going to unusual lengths in an attempt to become closer with another male friend

Like, asking one's best buddy to move in with you, perhaps? HEE!

[prism2me.livejournal.com]

Or publicly climbing on best buddy. LOL.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Or giving him expensive presents :))

[prism2me.livejournal.com]

I was thinking about that the other day. Did he buy the house for the dogs andJensen? LOL.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

He didn't, actually.

He bought it for Jensen and the dogs.

*nods solemnly*

[prism2me.livejournal.com]

Wow. That boy sure does make long term plans, huh? LOL.

Let's checkout that weird timeline I mentioned a while back.

2007 - Jared buys house.
November 2007 - Thanksgiving in Van.
December 2007 - Christmas in Texas.
February 2008 - Engagement
February 2008 - Miserable Jensen in Australia with D-bot.
March 2008 - Miserable Jared at Basketball game.
April 2008 - Return to work after writers strike.
May 2008 - Cozy wrap party pic.
May 2008 - Jensen looks for a place to stay and dumps his stuff at Jared's place.
June 2008 - Jared and Sandy become unengaged (we don't know the exact date)
Summer 2008 - Boys are busy, busy, busy.
July 2008 - Jared goes to Australia and literally loses his shit. Gives the 'deer in headlights' look when mod wants to ask a personal question. Gives a sigh of relief when the question is about video games.
July 2008 - Back to work. Jensen too busy to for a place. Jared graciously volunteers his place.
July 2008 - Comic Con. A subdued puppy (Jared) and a pissy kitty cat (Jensen) attend Comic Con. Countless fans wonder what the fuck is going on. Later in the day, the pissy kitty makes D-bot carry her own shit and keeps her as far away as possible.
September 2008 - Buddy TV breaks the news that Jared and Jensen live together. The internets goes kablooey in 2 seconds flat.
September 2008 - Red Bull. Jared and Jensen show up looking very domesticated. Fans get a taste of pissy Jensen. We find that Jensen can't keep his eyes to himself.
September 2008 - Jensen Padalecki was introduced. The internets go kablooey for the second time in less than a month. Google threatens to sue.
September 2008 - Jared attends con. Tries to explain the situation, but only makes it worse.

Just my overactive observations. Did I miss anything? LOL.

By the way, I found this Jared quote on SPN fan wiki - "Just be yourself and the right guy will come along, whether it be today, tomorrow, or next year. It'll happen!"

LOL. Did he really say that? Who is the lucky guy? LOL.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo! Jared has been busy, hasn't he?

July 2008. You might want to insert a "Misha arrived on the set". Someone might feel, you know, a little bit ... insecure, perhaps?

And it looks like Jared's finally got his guy!!

[i-o-r-h-a-e-l.livejournal.com]

Fabulous! :D

February 2008 - Engagement

I thought you were talking about J2...

:D

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

Oh MY! Thank you for the timeline! And I don't think you missed anything here. Me, otherwise, got a few new things. :))

[layne67.livejournal.com]

So much has happened within less than a year!!

[ala-tariel.livejournal.com]

They took the very fast lane. :))

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Ah - I see you've been reading comics written by Kripke lately.

*giggles*

He does love us so, doesn't he? BROMANCE FOREVER!

[layne67.livejournal.com]

No, not the comics, though I knew about that hunchback something or other. He mentioned the word bromance in one of his spoiler intros to future eps, I didn't watch it myself but a friend told me about it.

Here's (http://katikat.livejournal.com/606094.html) a more comprehensive definations to the word.

BROMANCE FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!!!

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I just came across a post referring to that spoilerly interview. I won't watch it either. Nothing bets being a spoilerphobe, as far as viewing pleasure goes, but I'm sure I miss out on a lot of inside goss from not seeing/reading the interviews.

When you say "knew" you mean you have read the comic, yes? Just in case....
http://missyjack.livejournal.com/311821.html#cutid1

I love that in the past Kripke had vehemently denied the chemistry between the boys but these days he freely admits and seems to be encouraging the Bromance. I'm not complaining, believe me!

EVER AND EVER AND EVER AHEM.

[layne67.livejournal.com]

Beast with two backs of course *facepalm*

I just scanned through that comic, didn't really read it.

in the past Kripke had vehemently denied the chemistry between the boys

Oh but I thought Kripke has always said that the boys have awesome chemistry together, right from the start?

Do you think SE Hinton being a fan has encouraged Kripke to come up with all those reference of bromance and beast with two backs and whatnots? *g*

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'm a bit of a comic fan so I loved that!

Oh but I thought Kripke has always said that the boys have awesome chemistry together, right from the start?

Yes but he was referring to of the non-sexual kind, or at least that is what I gathered, where as these days...

Do you think SE Hinton being a fan has encouraged Kripke

Oh god lord yes!

Dude, The premier is airing on Austrlian TV right NOW! *dances around room as Dean's hand busts through the earth of his grave*

[layne67.livejournal.com]

You know, when they said Hinton's a fan, I have high hopes that she would write an episode or two, the way Stephen King did for The X-Files. She'd so totally could write about them growing up, or their earlier years. Not so early though, I wouldn't want them to get others actors to play them!

[tj-smartz.livejournal.com]

Lin, how awesome would that be????? AND WE COULD HAVE JDM BACK!!!

*dances*

Yes, lets make her...

[suzy-74.livejournal.com]

huh? Have never heard of bromance before.


ps, I will look into that fic you suggested to me.
