If the Tele hadn' t had its name changed from 'Broadcaster'...

[tjcurtin1]

...what would we be calling it for short instead?!? :what

Sorry, but the thought just occurred to me...

Caster?
B-caster?
The Broad?

In Australia I'm sure it'd be either "The Broady" or the "Broado" based on how we typically butcher the language

"I was playin' that Broad for all she's worth", "I was making that Broad sing", "Dig the neck on that Broad", "That Broad's got some twang", "I really want to get my hands on a nice Broad", "Check out that guy spankin' that Broad."

Yep, it would be a whole different world.

Is "broad" still in common use? It never caught on in Australia AFAIK (we had Sheila), and I thought it was like a '50's ere American thing. Just curious is all.

We only hear it used in old 40's and 50's movies.

This reminds me of a recent bad-lip reading segment about a gentleman from Texas... if you have seen it you know what I am talking about!
