Q: Dear Dr. Skye: My lover said he’s going out next Friday night and I can’t go with him because it’s a “brodown”. What the heck is that and should I be worried? — Sherry D., St. Paul, MN

A: According to Urbandictionary.com, a brodown is “a boy’s night out.” Unless you have some reason to think more than basic male bonding is taking place, then you have nothing to worry about. Why not call up your girlfriends and plan an evening out with them?
