brody

A "Brody" is a miraculous maneuver or stunt.

This comes from "Steve Brody", the first man to survive the 135 foot jump from the Brooklyn Bridge. In 1885, right after the Brooklyn Bridge was built, Brody bragged he could survive the fall, and did. His amazing survival caused a media sensation, and the phrase "pull a Brody" has been used since then. (Only four people have *ever* survived the 135 foot drop, which is equivalent to jumping from the top of a fourteen story building.)

In 1885, Steve Brody owned a saloon. Parts of Brody's saloon still survive today in New York's Empire Room, which is fitted with mahogany panels and gold leaf plaster impressions recovered from Steve Brody's Saloon.

The miraculous 1885 survival of Brody made him very famous. From that time to this, New Yorkers have talked about "pulling a Brody" or "taking a Brody", referring to Brody's miracle jump and survival.

In 120 years, obviously, some people have forgotten where "pull a brody" came from. Do some research on Steve Brody and you will see this is the actual origin of the phrase.

brody is the most handsome, wonderful man you’ll ever meet in your whole life. he’s overall just such a charming person, and you can’t help but fall for him. he’s not that popular of a boy with only a few friends, but if you are his friend then you’re extremely lucky to have him in your life. everything about him is so admirable. it could be his adorable smile, or his fascination with 80’s music. even so, if you have him in your life then you better treat him well and cherish him.

he has stunningly beautiful green eyes and dirty blondish hair that you can’t help but think “oh damn he’s so handsome and sexy”. he can be a little rude to others jokingly, however if he really loves you deep down he would never dream of hurting you. he’s such a loyal and kind soul who only wants the best for those he loves the absolute most.
person 1: oh wow, who’s that handsome sweet guy over there?

person 2: oh, that’s just brody
