Working that phrase into your ordinary (or, sounds like in this case, not-so-ordinary) conversation earns you SEVEN EXTRA BONUS POINTS. Here they are:

Let's say it was a relatively ordinary conversation ... ;D .... Hmmmmm. What does that say about us?
Here's another one ("tell ya what ...", I have too many of these to count) ... one of the guys I work with went down to the Rockies to do some fishing .... Guess what I said? Oh, yes ....
"You didn't go down there to fish ... "
He looked at me like I had lost my grip and said, "yes I did". ::)
Sheyne:
We had one of these back on IMDb, didn't we?? :D
My main brokeism is the use of "tell you what".. I say it all the time.
Oh! But I did get to make myself useful in the kitchen the other day and slipped in "I am pretty good with a can-opener". My sis knows my obsession and tell you what, if her eyes had rolled any further up into her head, she woulda lost em in her hair.. ;)
Front-Ranger:
Yes, Sheyne and we also had one next door on CT, now buried... New summer Brokyism--I enjoy wearing my gardening gloves neatly folded and tucked in my right rear jeans pocket...

Now that's hot 8)
Do I get a point for using the word "pissant" today at work? Never heard it before BBM.

Believe it or not, I think the first time I heard "pissant" was on the Walton's. That doesn't seem likely, but I think it was Erin who said it. Hmmmm ....
Here is another one I have used (I told you I have a billion) .... I was in a debate with my brother who, I thought, was making lame brain comments. So I said, "you're a real thinker there ..." The look he gave me .... whoa! I thought he was going to kill me! :o I let him know I was joking (I valued my life too much ::))
