This is an "inside joke" so detached from its origin, that
describing its genesis is futile. That said, if you have something
to say, it might as well be "gross bro."
"Gross Bro."
For no good reason, it has become an epic unto itself. The term connotates
the fact that something, presumably the subject of the expression
commonly understood
by the communicatee, is unacceptable, farcical, or intolerable at some level.
At the same time, in practice, latitude is extended to the term, such that
it can be used in sarcastic fashion, wherein identifying something
as "gross," does
not mean to inherently suggest that the object or subject is in fact, and literally, "gross," but
rather that the nature of the label is understood, in context, to imply precisely
what the communicator intended, whatever that subjectively may have been, assuming
the communicatee understood the reference as such.
The attraction of the phrase is by making use of the term "bro" while
making what ostensibly is a negative observation (i.e., "gross"),
ironically, one is using essentially a term of endearment. Clearly, the term "bro" references
someone viewed as a "brother," or perhaps more generally brotherhood,
making the overall phrase suggest that the speaker is confiding something different
or unacceptable observationally, but otherwise to a person revered at the level
of a close family associate.
Interesting.
