Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"

And so they are. As long as there are other people who understand what you're saying, that's all that matters. :)
I'm still trying to get used to the strange-look thing. It might be even stranger for a Brokie. Even as an outsider, I knew there is such a thing as Elvish and Klingon -- but how many non-Brokies have heard of Brokish?! :laugh:

But, it doesn't sound quite right to say the language of Brokieism. So, how would we refer to this language in the way we would say "English" or "Chinese" or "French"? For instance, I can't really write, "I speak Brokieism" and have it sound right.
Any suggestions? It's a wierd dilemma and "Brokie" is difficult to turn into a word equivalent to "English" or "Chinese."

How about Brokie-lingo?
HerrKaiser:
Here's a way-out one....
I find myself moving between office locations, at times, in that posture Ennis showed when he came home to Alma and the two babies screaming. when he entered the kids' room, he had a semi bent demeanor, shuffle, yet purposed movement with eyes on target. everytime I seem to strike this movement, his essence hits me again.
Brown Eyes:
LOL, it's always great to hear when Brokieisms extend beyond meer language and begin to creep into movements and other aspects of "RL".
:laugh:

Mebbe we're not talkin bout the same thing, but I consider I've developped(?) or learnt a third language and I refer ta it as 'Ennis Speak' - and within that 'language' I most certainly use some brokieisms. - you know I do.
