I agree totally with this post. I think it's the American version of English that has brought upon us this kid sibling matter. It is certainly wrong. |

Abeg leave it like that for us. That is our own interpretation for younger brothers and sisters. If Britain don't like it that way, let them stay in their country. Na wetin sef. |

Jman06: Please look for better thing to bother about...whether kid bro , kid sister or younger sis, bro, the main thing is that we understand the message being passed. The person in quote is your younger sibling whether you're 20, 100 or 2 years older to me is inconsequential. English is only but another man's language not wisdom. 1 Like |

phransix2:Actually my younger brother or younger sister is the apposite adjective to use. It's either elder brother/sister or younger brother/sister |

Lol... "kid brother" though an informal English, is actually correct. Don't come and confuse us�� |

There is nothing like "older brother". It is "elder brother". |

I think it's only appropriate if the sibling is at least 7 years younger. |

There was a time the word 'gay' first of all meant 'happy' and could be used to describe one's day. 'Pussy' also meant cat, and was so used in children's songs. Bottom line is, English is dynamic. It is defined by popular usage and not the other way round. That single reason is why we don't speak the same English people spoke during Shakespeare's time, or during the time of the translators of the King James version. |

Jman06: First, “kid brother” and “kid sister” are NOT Nigerian phrases... Nonetheless, there’s nothing particularly wrong with the phrase... Especially because it is usually generally used in the context denoting you always consider the person as the “kid” sibling you grew up with. If there’s any phraseology issue with Nigerian English... It is the phrases “Junior Brother” or “Junior Sister” (and don’t even get me started on “Relations” )! > |
Re: Wrong Use Of The Words "Kid Sister" And "Kid Brother" by 9jaRealist: 3:15pm On Jun 21, 2019 |
MDBoss: Using the term “an older brother” is actually the more appropriate of those two... > |
