man is short for manual. What is bro short for?

[cdcarter]

Brochure. Which, despite the tounge-in-cheek joke I was trying to make, actually tends to be a shorter and more example driven document about a product.

That's actually hilarious. Very clever. I don't think the people complaining about the name in this thread will appreciate the joke, though.

[dictum]

Brother.

(I couldn't resist.)

[nailer]

Same as chairman, they're all short for manus, which is 'hand' in Latin.
