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

In the PSS program "The Fabric of the Cosmos" Brian Greene was mentioning odd bits of material, and he included "My Uncle Harold", I thought "Brokeism!!"

I used a Brokieism last weekend:
Jens and his father fixed new curtain rails for our living toom. My FIL was standing on a stool, holding the curtain rail up with both hands for me to judge if it's in the right place. When it was, I said: "That's it, keep it like that and mark it with a pencil."
FIL: "Well..." looking at the pencil in his front pocket.
Me: "If you had three hands you could."
Since I said the Brokieism in English, the poor man was somewhat confused. ;D
:laugh:

:laugh: Did you tell him it's a favorite old saying among a certain American subculture?

Now that would have been a good comeback to his "Hunh?". :)
Instead I just said nevermind.
