Friendly term of address to a male friend (3)

I believe the answer is:

bro

(Other definitions for bro that I've seen before include "Word used for male relative" , "American greeting" , "US form of address" , "Sis's sibling?" , "somewhere one feels close to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
