Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"
Meryl:
Paul, I love the yarmulkes with cowboy hats! :laugh:
Good ones, Cameron! Spelling schmelling, we get the gist. ;D
Puny putz syndrome explains a LOT in this world, Jeff. :P

My sister-in-law used a Brokieism today without even knowing it ;D.
Today is a public holiday in Germany and the family met to celebrate my niece's birthday. My sister-in-law's husband said something she didn't approve of and when she criticized him, he answered
"I just thought so..." - close enough, but not yet a Brokieism.
Then his wife countered with "Yeah, yeah. You're a real thinker here."
Made me chuckle. :)

Hey, that's quite close, Jeff! Very good :) - and not rusty at all.
vierglich = wirklich
She said: "Ja, ja. Du bist ein echter Denker hier."
In German, the two words wirklich and echt both mean real.
