Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"
ekeby:
I find myself using a nonverbal Brokieism . . . After Alma says "You got a postcard. It come general delivery," Ennis whirls around to pick it up off the kitchen table. I find myself whirling in my tiny galley kitchen from one side to the other exactly in this way . . . did I always do this, I wonder? It's got to the point where I cannot turn from the stove to the sink without seeing that scene in my mind's eye . . . .

I can only imagine BBM lingo in an English or Aussie accent ... ;D I just have a very strong northern (Midwestern) accent. I have been accused of speaking in a “Fargoesque” way. (BTW … my accent is not nearly that severe). But, get my nasal, harsh accent and mix it with the BBM way of speaking and you get a sound like a New Yorker on steroids.

just so you know....in aussie......Ennis rhymes with "tennis"....whorson sounds like "war son"......jack rhymes with "back".....Riverton sounds like "river ten"....
I Swear sounds like "I care"......Alma sounds like "al ma".....Laureen sounds like "lawreen"......Bobby rhymes with "hobby".....
Cant think of anymore........

Well my normal speech isn't exactly unpeppered with swear words and the like but even so fitting the 'whoreson' in is the most difficult! If you say it in an English accent you have to really spit out the 'bitch' bit to make it sound ok. Actually out of interest had anyone said 'whoreson' before cos I'd never heard it before BBM. But back to the point no it doesn't sound very realisitic to anyone else hence the strange looks I get. One day I'll met someone who gets it...sigh.
