Reading “Boondocks” recently, I was reminded yet again that when Huey scores a zinger off his little brother he yells “Brooklyn!” What is the origin of that? And can (should) I incorporate this into my everyday speech? :slight_smile:

Nah, it’s Caesar who’s the snap-master. And he’s from Brooklyn. So when he wins he shouts out for his home town.

So I’m stuck yelling “Illadelph!”? :frowning:

People do that all the freakin’ time around here. But then again, I do live in Brooklyn.
