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

I can't remember the last time I used a Brokieism. I would guess it's been a while.

I use that one occasionally, too. It's a pretty easy one to slip into ordinary conversation unobtrusively. Unlike, say, GDBOAUS.
Let's refresh our Brokieology by doing a Brokieism challenge. Everybody try to use one Brokieism sometime this week when speaking to a non-Brokie!
:D
Front-Ranger:
Accepting your challenge!
CellarDweller:
Hmmmmm.......that could be hard. Also, I'm on vacation this week, so I may have to try this next week.

If it's a really nice day out, you can say to someone, "It could be like this, always." Correct? Or is it "It could be like this, just like this, always"? I don't have my handy S2S in front of me. In them early Brokie days I used to keep it within arm's reach at all times.
If someone mentions an unusual religion, you could ask about it and explain "My folks was [whatever your folks was]."
I find one of the hardest parts of delivering a successful Brokieism is using improper grammar around people who know that I know the correct grammar.
