A drake-brockman is an absurd belief that goes against all rational evidence, because it reinforces one's bigoted view of a race or particular group of people. Usually, a drake-brockman is the result of deliberately misrepresenting a source to make them fit your world view.
Cherry the elderly papergirl believed the drake-brockman that asylum seekers are given £300 a week and a pat on the head by the Government, after someone told her this in a post office queue one day.
the de sica believed the drake-brockman that 'many asylum seekers are guilty of serious crimes in their own country' despite the fact that when she was repeatedly asked for evidence she failed to provide any.

Remark frequently made by a watt in an internet conference to try and portray himself as one wild and crazy guy, whilst making 'jokes'about hitting women and dead Chinese people. What he really portrays himself as is a twat. Yes a twat.
Wibble!!!!! said the watt who also used lots of exclamation marks to try and show how wacky he was, but instead just made a bigger prick of himself than usual.

atmosphere-less drinking holes in the uk, characterised by artificial ye olde oake beams, plastic leprachauns, etc etc. I mean, what the hell does, say, cenral cardiff have to with the australian outback? fuck all, that's what. the worst ones are the oirish pubs.
i fancied a pint with my mates, but then one of the twats wanted to go to the "blarneystone n' firkin" so I decided not to bother

Football player, the best of his generation undoubtedly, if not the best player of all time (cetainly the best I've seen and i've been watching football since 1974).
Famous for the so-called 'hand of god' goal against England in the 1986 world cup, demonised ever since, not as if English players ever cheat now is it?
Pathetically, was voted Scotland's 'sportsman of the century' in 1999 but this is just typical of the small minded attitude and low-level racism of most jocks.

The highly amusing manner in which americans pronounce 'squirrel' because of their absurdly exaggerated and deeply annoying drawling accent y'all.
The same mannerism makes "Terror" sound like "terr'rr"
