LOL!   :laugh:

Well, Friend, thanks for taking note of all the words I've spoke in the past 3 months.  Are you trying to tell me that I talk a blue streak?

Actually, you have contributed many observant, insightful, witty and lengthy posts. You make the world a better and safer place for all of us long-posters (and appreciative readers!).
 :D

This is my 500th post!  Note that this is not off topic because I used one of my favorite Brokie-isms.  Now I only need to post 500 more times to make it into the fancy 1000+ club.
 :D

That certainly IS worth a good YEEHAW!! If I ever get there, I'll figure out a way to put it in neon lights!!

Congratulations!!! :)

Penthesilea:
Let's see if I can get some extra points here  :).

Sometimes I use "You bet", which is not very exciting, but I use it in English when talking to other Germans (puzzled looks guaranteed).

I love, love, love to use "Tent don't look right", no matter what kind of thing doesn't look right (but only to my husband who knows).

I attend an English conversation circle, meeting other people who can speak English to get more practise. And there I sometimes use Brokie-isms. For example I called one of my daughters a "lively little gal" (what she is indeed) and once used the "dumbass mules".

I use "Tell you what", translated to German, more often than I did to before BBM.

But I can't count the times adequate Brokie-isms pops up my mind during everyday conversations and I don't say them.

You do get extra points, Penth! Here they are:

 :) :D :D :) :D :D :)

Brokie-isms pop into my mind throughout the day, too, without me saying them. I have little shadow conversations going on in my head whenever somebody says anything familiar -- even routine phrases like "Me neither" or "Son of a bitch" or "How do you figure that?"
