Is this "broad" you are referring to, your wife? I normally use this term to be derogatory in describing a woman of loose morals. I'm quite sure many other men use it for similar reasons as well. Just thought I'd let you know.

......lol lmao...Nooooooooo...lol I always use this around my wife and when I'm goffin with the fella's or something. Sort of like a Sinatra era expression, the way I use it. "What a broad figure on that beautiful woman!" then they just shortened it to Broad for "Broad figure." lol
Now tune in next week when I mention the word "Dame"...lol...My wife just shakes her head....a NY thing.

You're going to have a great time then. If you think DB is spectacularly unique compared to your current regulars, you'll have your world tured upside down by stuff like Bvlgari Black, Gucci PH, the whole range of Guerlains...not to mention the plethora of niche possibilities that await. I'm excited for you.
......Yea I know..you guys must get a kick outta what I have now and what I really have to check out. I mean I grew up with the standards....Eternity, Polo, Obsession, Tuscany, Drakkar, Purple Sung....I even tried Passion for men! I will come back to this post and write down some of the above colognes, would love to try them.
I like the swatch I sprayed with Bulgari Extreme,,,,man' when I hear you all talk of these colognes I've never heard of before it's like a foreign language..lol I cant wait to get to Nordstroms to try out all these Terre D' Hermes, Parsons, you name it I have to try it on a swatch.
Imagine that! DBlack smells insanely unique to me! Then I smelled Angel by Muggler and I thought it was from MARS or something...the wife didn't like
it at all. I must admit Angel is a bit oatmeally and spicy and just smelled like a once in a blue moon use if I had it. It is in its own world IMHO.
I mean DBlack.......what the hell am I smelling at first spray, then middle then fade/dry hours later??? Anyone?
Much thanks!!!!!

Answer:
It's called the Drydown. It happens because the top notes usually evaporate faster than the middle notes/base notes, and it may completely change the character of the fragrance. For example, when you first spray Fahrenheit by Christian Dior, all you smell is motor oil with a light fresh musk base. As it drys down, the oil gets a little more muted, and the fresh musk really makes its presence known. In it's final throes, the musk is all that's left. All the way throughout the life of it, Fahrenheit smells great to me, but some people can only detect the top notes on it, leaving them to believe they'd be better off with some Penzoil. Patience is next to godliness. Drydown is the word/slang you are looking for.

Answer:
smelled Vera Wang princess this weekend. It was very nice.

Answer:
Man'..tell me about it! The Princess by Vera Wang is sweet and vanilla and just a touch of that flower scent. I'm gettin' that for my broad without a doubt..errrrr...my wife..sorry. lol
Thanks for the drydown lesson. Yea, it is weird when you first spray it...then it is uncanny..then the drydown reveals a bit something else. I guess that why WE ALL SHOULD try the colognes out one at a time one day each cologne to really get what the end esult is that we like.

Again, when you guys are at the scent jernt' lol check out V.Wang Princess....and Bahama by Tommy..another good one.
Big Ups to Vera wang on that perfume...vanilla...vanilla..vanilla..and cotton candy with a touch of flowers.
Sooo goood!

Answer:
BTW, it's not Bahama by Tommy, it's just Tommy Bahama. Tommy doesn't make it, and Tommy Bahama only has about five scents.

Just thought I'd let you know. Dashiell Hammett probably never used the term "broad" or "dame' but I'm sure Mickey Spillane did. Every movie and TV show that featured the "Bowrey Boys" used the terms. I think they were all shot in Hollywood though because I've never seen any of NYC in a scene unless it was a long shot of the city such as Woody Allen uses. I never understood why such very dated terms still cause a bit of friction.
Guys talk about women still to this day it's often more popular than football unless a copy of Playboy is involved and sometimes use unsavory terms. The worst offenders are usually down on Wall Street.

The worst offenders are usually down on Wall Street. With all due respect, who is Dashiell Hammett and Mickey Spillane? What have they got to do with any of the previous posts? Although I have difficulties understanding your point of the sentence in bold, I think you're veering a little off topic.

are you serious!?
4th line original post
a few posts down he explains the meaning of the word broad
I who can veer with the best of them then veered. I came to this country in veerage.
Now Dashiell Hammett wrote the "Thin Man" series of crime stories. Since the oh so snooty New Yawhker magazine printed most of them the word broad to describe a woman would have veered right off the editors desk.
Micky Spillane? i think he's still alive. ask him. I bet Squire would agree that the filthiest mouth's in NYC gave themselves $40,000,000 bonuses this year. and they work on Wall Street. if you keep your ears peeled the sickest funniest, grossest are being swapped by guys in $6000 suits. sorry for veering.
I know now not to.

I'll simply do a Google Search on those characters, so I wouldn't jump in my chair the next time I come across them.

Punctuation. Never too late to edit.

Answer:
I'll have to watch my puctuation huh?
there you are you poor sap. feel better now? you've carefully read and consulted your copy of "Eats, Shoots and Leaves" and you finally pinned the ears back on a guy who has had a stroke and spinal damage from an accident. Why if I was any kind of man I'd throw my wheelchair at you.
Ever since I called you a douchebag for rating your own posts with 5 stars, your ego has had a blister on it. awwwwww
