"Bromance" is a portmanteau, a combination of the words "brother" and "romance." A bromance or man-crush is a close but non-sexual relationship between two (or more) men, a form of homosocial intimacy. Coined in the 1990s, the term has typically referred to a relationship between heterosexuals influenced by the effect of second wave feminism in the United States or related movements elsewhere in the world. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromance
