Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"
BBM-Cat:
Thanks everyone! This forum is so fun. My husband and I are going on a short cruise this upcoming week...I have a pre-meditated Brokieism - imagine standing on the deck of the cruise ship overlooking the ocean and the sunset...'It could be like this,...etc.
I'll let you all know how it goes! I can bearly stand to be away from my BBM DVD and this forum for a week but again, real life calls! :)

I was standing at the kitchen sink looking up at the clouds through the window in front of me. I craned my head back a bit to see more sky, and looked harder. Suddenly I was Ennis drying his hands on the towel in Alma's Thanksgiving kitchen, peering out at the snow with the squuncny face.
I couldn't find what I wanted at Striped Wall. Ennis has already lost the sort of silly, displeased look by this point:
serious crayons:
I can picture exactly the craning, scuuncny (that's a new word for me) look ou're describing, though.

So, I'm here to report a genuine new use of a Brokieism in my real life recently. It actually just slipped out and I felt totally sheepish upon doing it. At work, I called one of my colleagues "Bud"... not once, but twice during the same day! Granted... I was very sleepy that day (partially due to being up late reading BetterMost). Those two "Bud" exclamations were completely un-intentional. It's now just part of my subconscious now I guess. I think my colleague was more perplexed by my "sheepishness" following the second "Bud" instance than by the use of the term itself.
:-X :-\
ps. "Brokieism" is a funny looking word when it's typed out. :laugh:
Ellemeno:
Amanda, you using the word "Bud" has always given me the courage to use it too. :)
