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.

The "whoreson'" term was a new one to me ... and I've heard a lot. Personally, I have to reign in my swear words. I work for a Christian organization ... so saying something like "Son of a whoreson' bitch" would cause numerous cardiac arrests.

Well, that's why you're on the Bettermost website - because we all get it! I never heard whoreson before. When I told friends they thought I was saying horse's son or horseson. I find it very satisfying to say Son of a whoreson bitch, even if I have to mutter it under my breath. I picture Jack spittin out those words. I also really love "This is a goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation." Which reminds me of the line from Cool Hand Luke "What we got here is failure to communicate." (I don't know why)

I see why one reminds you of the other ... but "Cool Hand Luke's" version is a bit more watered down ... to be sure. ;D
serious crayons:
I saw a friend of mine from out of town last weekend, but didn't get a chance to spend much time with her. So I just emailed her and at one point said "Never enough time!" (I chickened out of the second "never enough"). I wonder if she'll recognize it.

Does anyone find themselves using a "Brokieism" and in mid sentence realize that this will make absolutely no sense to the person with whom you are speaking? This happens to me all of the time. Sometimes I’ll say something and think it is completely hilarious and I get a look like I had completely lost my mind! :laugh:
