I hear that in the US only children use "big brother".

I have referred to my younger brother as "little brother" all of his life in informal company - both directly (in place of his name) and referentially. Its a laughable irony now that he is nearly a foot taller and very muscular, but the diminutive nature of the word "little" is still the way I see him.
However, in less formal situations I simply refer to him as my brother and by his name when speaking directly to him.
