Report your use of Brokieisms in so-called "real life"
Front-Ranger:
I'm working with some great new people in my new job, and yesterday my artist was emailing me an apology for something she forgot to do on a piece, so I emailed her back "S'alright."
Kelda:
:D
Penthesilea:
I used a Brokieism last Saturday, and just remember it now.
At lunch time my oldest daughter asked me which of the leftovers I wanted to have: pizza or canneloni. Both were only small portions, so I said: "It's all yours." - same intonation, and of course in English.
It's nice that meanwhile she speaks enough English to understand a lot.
Front-Ranger:
There are many Brokeisms that are appropriate for this sad day, but the one that echoes in my head the most is what Meryl selected for her signature: "See you in the morning." These were the last words that Ennis spoke to Jack in the movie and, like the bright windowpane and the mystical blue light, they give us hope.
Brown Eyes:
OK, so- for what it's worth- I've finally resolved all my recent, crazy computer issues. And, now that I have fast internet at home YouTube is quickly going to turn into my new internet addiction. For music, and for immediately being able to drill down into really interesting obscure footage, concert films, etc. it's just unbelievable.
So, here as promised is one of many YouTube options for Placebo's "For What It's Worth." Placebo is my total obsession lately. This is a performance they did of it for BBC Radio.

For now:
For What It's Worth:
The end of the century
I said my goodbyes
For what it’s worth
I always aim to please
But I nearly died
For what it’s worth
Come on lay with me
‘Cause I’m on fire
For what it’s worth
I tear the sun in three
To light up your eyes
For what it’s worth
Broke up the family
Everybody cried
For what it’s worth
I have a slow disease
That sucked me dry
For what it’s worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide
For what it’s worth
Filled a cavity
Your God shaped hole tonight
For what it’s worth
No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends got no lover
For what it’s worth
Got no lover
Got no friends got no lover
