Wow. I work with a Bruce.

See, you’re missing the musical gay inflection.

BrruuuUUUuuuucth.

Growing up in Wisconsin in the 70’s a Bruce was a fag. No idea why though. I’m kinda surprised it’s still being used. I haven’t heard it in over twenty years but then I haven’t lived in the mid-west for over twenty years.

We used to call cool things “douche!” No idea why about that either, but maybe they still do.

I used to work with a guy named Francine. I think he was more flaming than any Bruce I’ve ever met.

Those are all Crickerters!

This here’s the wottle, emblem of our land. You can stick it in a bottle, you can hold it in your hand.

My first thought after reading the title was a descendant of Robert the Bruce?
Then, it was the Monty Python Bruce.
Now I understand.

And Wittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel

Rule 1: no poofters!

*Otto, ** I seriously * wonder if he was one of my roommates in college. His name was Bruce F, he spent his time knitting, baking, and arranging all of his clothes by their shade of purple in the closet. (He only had purple clothing). There was also a collection of purple unicorn wall art. He was definitely gay.

The funny part was that his parents were definite biker people and so he had the occassional Harley-Davidson thing around.

There’s nothing Nietzsche couldn’t teach ya
'Bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.

To be fair, it should really be Bwucie.

Si

…and Rene Descarte
Was a drunken fart
I drink therefore I am!

Whattabout John Stuart Mill and Aristotle?

John Stuart Mill, of his own free will, on half a pint of shandy was particuliarly ill!

Plato they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day,

Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle, Hobbes was fond of his dram,

And Rene Descartes, that drunken fart, I drink, therefore I am.

There’s nothing Nietschze couldn’t teach ya about the raising of the wrist,

Socrates himself is particuliarly missed…

A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he’s pissed!

Mill was partiularly ill on only half a bottle of shandy (but it was on his own free will). Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle.
It’s all covered.

Not just Wisconsin.

While I’ve never encountered a Bruce in the wild, in my university years I did have the pleasure of encountering a very similar species called the Bryce in my very own living accomodations. Bryces are very shy and spend much of their time tidying their well-feathered nests, but with a little patience blossom into disco dancin’ maniacs.

NO POOFTERS!

Australia is the chosen land
God’s only chosen race
and if we see a fairy Pom
We smash him in the face

Which always led me to believe that the whole Bruce thing was a bit facetious, or that Bruce didn’t have the same connotation in the land down under.

Jenner?

Banner?
