On social media and in memes, blud is used the same way as bro and bruh. Like those terms, blud can stand in for any of "brother," "dude," "friend," or "my guy," depending on context.
For example, a Twitter user who posts "my blud is on fire" alongside a picture of LeBron James is impressed with LeBron's current performance. (Yes, this person thinks LeBron is their bro, and no, their blood is not on fire.)
Origin of blud
The slang term "blud" originated from Jamaican English, which is used similarly to the dictionary definition of "blood." It became popular in London and other urban areas, especially among British youth and Caribbean-influenced communities for family members and close friends (gang members may also use it to be derogatory).
It has also been part of American "jive talk" since the mid-1900s. However, it didn't become popular online until the 2010s and 2020s when its meaning shifted closer to bro and bruh.
