Re: Broccoli: a Verb in Need of Meaning

> It shouldn’t be confined to just being a noun. One broccoli, two or more broccoli. Yes, you can add an s to the plural form but there’s no need. The word is perfect already, and even has its own emoji: 🥦. Broccoli begs to be used more, in its already perfect form. I think it should be a verb. An action.


I usually use the broccoli emoji as an even stronger version of the broken heart emoji (because I once sobbingly was scrolling through the emojis typing in the first letters of “broken heart” and it amused me and I’ve kept it up). Or sometimes I use it to mean green or Simic when talking about Magic cards


I like eating broccoli though. So its use as a super-broken-heart is a bit weird. But, aligns with the move “Inside Out” a.k.a. the only good Pixar movie.
