Brokoto

Brokoto is a term that emerged from online communities, particularly those associated with gaming and internet culture. It is often used colloquially to describe a person who is perceived as being overly eager, enthusiastic, or perhaps a bit naive, especially in pursuit of something they find exciting or desirable. The term can carry a slightly mocking or affectionate undertone, depending on the context and the relationship between the speakers.

The exact origin of "brokoto" is difficult to pinpoint, but it appears to have gained traction in the late 2010s and early 2020s. Its usage is primarily confined to informal digital spaces and is not widely recognized or understood outside of these specific communities. It is not a formal linguistic term and lacks a precise dictionary definition.

When someone is called a "brokoto," it generally implies they are acting with excessive zeal, sometimes to the point of being a bit foolish or easily swayed by hype. For instance, a gamer who immediately buys every new in-game cosmetic or eagerly follows every minor development announcement might be labeled a brokoto. The term is typically used among peers and is rarely directed at strangers. Its meaning is fluid and can evolve within different online groups.
