In the diaspora, 'Gabru' is often used as a term of endearment and identity, appearing on car stickers and clothing brands. Almost every Bhangra song mentions the 'Gabbroo' to evoke a sense of energy and tradition. The protagonist in Punjabi movies is usually the 'Desi Gabbroo' who fights for justice in the village.

Gender Specific
Never use it for girls. It sounds very strange and grammatically incorrect.
