broad out

To act like some nutty woman would in that particular situation. To behave precisely like some ignored girlfriend who is bitching at her boyfriend about shit he doesn't care about -- probably stuff that doesn't matter to anyone except her. This is not specifically reserved for women, and in fact is more applicable towards males. To act generally bizarrely, unbalanced and quite possibly overly-feminine in a situation that does not warrant it.

I was just sitting there trying to play some video games when my buddy broaded out on me because I didn't notice he just got a haircut and that his pants make his ass look good. As he was running away, hands flapping and crying, I yelled, "Oh man, don't broad out on me again -- I just lost my last life!"

Brobdingrag

Brobdingrag is the correct spelling of Brobdingnag as originally intended by a fictional Lemuel Gulliver in the manuscript so published.

In Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift, Gulliver wrote a letter following the fictional initial publication that is used as a preface in the version actually published under Swift. Though the letter deals mostly with Gulliver's frustration at the behavior of humanity as that of Yahoos, he also makes a brief aside:

Indeed I must confess, that as to the people of Lilliput, Brobdingrag (for so the word should have been spelt, and not erroneously Brobdingnag), and Laputa, I have never yet heard of any Yahoo so presumptuous as to dispute their being, or the facts I have related concerning them; because the truth immediately strikes every reader with conviction.

Broadmead

The central shopping district of Bristol, a large city in the South West of England. It consists mostly of 4 pedestrianised streets, but also contains a small shopping mall known as the Galleries.

Directly to its east is Cabot Circus, a newly developed, more upmarket shopping centre. To the South West is St Nicholas' Market (colloquially referred to as St Nicks), the Centre, and Park Street, all of which are an extension of the main shopping district.

The whole district, containing Broadmead, Cabot Circus, St Nicks, the Centre and Park Street is often refered to collectively as "town".
