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

Brokies, I swaear. ...
Here's one I didn't use, but I swear I heard it this morning, on the Today show, of all places!
Just before I left for work this morning, all the Today people were sitting around the anchor desk, and Lester Holt, anchor of NBC's Nightly News, was with them.
In referring to Holt, I would swear I heard Savannah Guthrie say, "Here's someone who doesn't know how to quit us." (Or something very close to that, but I'm sure of the "doesn't know hot to quit us.")
:laugh:

I think "quit you/us" has probably entered the mainstream vocabulary, even if not everybody knows its origins.
But is Lester Holt quitting NBC, or what? That's kind of surprising. Or was she saying that because he was back visiting the Today Show, where he used to sit at the news desk back in the days when I could still stomach the Today Show?

No, he's not leaving the network. IIRC, he sat in recently when Matt Lauer was away. It might have been a reference to his days on the Today news desk.

good catch
serious crayons:
I used to think Matt Lauer was really nice and Katie Couric was kind of stuck up. This is based partly on his cheerful on-air demeanor, and partly on my having visited the Today Show set one time in New York -- Matt went around chatting amiably with people at the fence, while Katie was standoffish.
But since then I've read a couple of things that make me think less of Matt Lauer, sadly.
