Dont try to immediately jump into what you want to say.
Takes a fraction of a second to say, and is basically a turn signal letting everyone know you're about to start talking.
There's lots of words that work the same way, but "bruh" is ridiculously easy to blurt out and tell everyone you're going to start talking.
It's probably due to my age but that would be super weird to do with my peer group unless using it ironically. I'd sooner go with "well" or "so..."
Oh yeah, there's lot of better and more specific words.
But "bruh" is easy to say and fits regardless of what comes next. You could be agreeing/disagreeing, showing disbelief or understanding. Angry or empathetic.
"Bruh" just always works. So if someone is having difficulty communicating that have something to say, they can say that while still not sure what they're going to say.
It's the most versatile interjection in modern English.
Dude.
