I cut myself a small slice.
I said: "I'll take a piece for later. I can't eat no cake just now."

Do our colleagues wonder why our grammar has gone all to hell these past few months??!!
My latest brokieism is that when people wonder why I don't go Xmas shopping or watch television anymore, I just spread my hands out (with imaginary gloves) and say, "I gotta work..." in a plaintive voice.

I think mine do. We just had a pizza lunch to celebrate a colleague's birthday. Someone noticed when I said, "I'm gonna have me another slice." Not exactly a Brokieism, but I guess that qualifies as Brokienglish.

Somebody stole the pencil sharpener.
Well, I suppose it hasn't really been stolen, but. ... We had this really good electric pencil sharpener that lived on a shelf in the room with the copy machine. It put a really good, even point on your pencil. This morning, when I went to sharpen a couple of pencils, the pencil sharpener was gone, and I know not where it is. >:( You can imagine what I had to say about that: "A goddamn bitch of an unsatisfactory situation."
