Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"
Sason:
I was planning a family dinner with my s-i-l, the same day she and my brother will return after a ski vacation. She was planning to cook when they came back, but I thought that was a bad idea.
So I hear myself saying: You're planning to drive 5 hours on winter roads, come back at around 4 and start to cook? What if you have a couple of hours delay - that could easily happen - and then you'll come back hungry as hell and there's no food!
;D

A stretch as a Brokieism, maybe, but nice quick-thinking wordplay! :D

I just remembered something I've been meaning to share for some time. It's not "my" use of a Brokieism, but here goes.
Necessary background info: In many areas of Philadelphia, the city has done away with individual parking meters. Now you pay at a kiosk, which prints out a receipt, which you place on the inside of your windshield (and then hope the parking authority doesn't give you a ticket. ... :P ). Anyway, one of these kiosks is located less than half a block from where I live, and somebody has applied grafitti to it that includes the word señor. I can't walk past that kiosk without thinking of Jack in that alley. :(
