That's odd that you would say that...I think it's the only "ism" I have picked up. That and "y'all".

Do you mean "little darlin," Scott? I meant that in context. I know you, so if you said it to me, I wouldn't mind. Jeff, for instance, says it frequently to lots of people here, and I think that's nice.
But if you said it to an airlines or other customer-service-type women, not all of them are going to take it well. But maybe Jeff has done that, too, and can tell us firsthand how they reacted! :laugh:

Well, it is a pleasure to know there are some nice terms that are not considered sexist! And you are from Chicago where people seem every so much more sensible about life.

Brokieisms are infective. My husband, who isn't even a Brokie, used one yesterday. Or at least he tried ::).
I had some good news for him via email and this was his reply:
This demands for a true Brokeback Y Y Y E E E P P P E E E ! ! !
:laugh:
Okay, I have to teach him that it's Yee-haw, not Yeeppee, but I found it cute.
