Girls referring younger brother as "baby brother"?
I don't get why girls refer to their younger brothers as "baby brother", even though the younger brother is probably in their late teens or early 20s. Can someone fill me in on this?

It's a term of affection. She probably has fond memories of back when they were little kids and as the big sister she was expected to "look out for your baby brother." It's also funny, especially if "baby brother" is now half a foot taller or more than his sister.

They're used to calling them 'the baby'. Or, they dislike the brother and want to tease. Perhaps it is just a fond childhood nickname between siblings. I call my younger siblings 'the babies' even though they are well out of diapers because the group name stuck for a long time.

If you admit that your younger brother is old, what does that say about your age?
My little sister is a grandmother herself.
