Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"

[Sason]

I just yesterday used the "my parents was ..." Brokieism. Here, of course -- if I used it IRL people would wonder why I suddenly had bad grammar.

Yup, noticed it. I don't remember which thread it was, but I noticed it

I cannot now say how long it's been, but this morning I actually had occasion to use a Brokieism! 

I was riding down in the elevator with a neighbor. He was lamenting the loss of view caused by the new high-rise that has gone up practically next door to our building. I share his sorrow, but this morning I said to him ... wait for it ... it's coming ... you know what I said ...

"If you can't fix it, you've got to stand it."

Seems very appropriate to the situation!

I used one not long ago, but I can't recall what it was!  LOL

Yup.

Certainly more true in this situation than it was in the movie's situation. They coulda fixed it!

[Sason]

yes, they could

Another week, another chance to say, "Snow's coming in from the Pacific!"

Well, this isn't me reporting a use of a Brokieism, but it seemed maybe an appropriate place to report this.

The hometown newspaper carries the "Dear Abby" column. This morning's column included a letter from a gay guy who is upset about losing his straight best friend because the friend has now found "a significant other." (That's what the letter writer called her.)

Then the writer went on to say this:

"Abby, the thing is, I never wanted to be with him before. (My darkest secret: I recently stole one of his shirts because I wanted part of him with me.)" 

Is this for real, or what?
