A couple of London movie tweeps — @LondonFilmFan and @orangewarrior — were having a discussion the other day about just what the heck a “Brooklyn Decker” is. @orangewarrior figured:
A Brooklyn Decker is a New York-invented act of sexual perversity.possibly involving a chocolate bar
I, as a New Yorker, had to set them straight: A Brooklyn Decker is an egg cream soda that uses hot fudge instead of regular chocolate syrup.
Although suddenly I’m not so sure. Isn’t “Brooklyn Decker” an obsolete term for a ball hit into the upper levels at a Dodgers game, back when they were still a New York team?
And now I hear that there’s some model-turned-actress — she’s appeared in Battleship, apparently — using this term as her actual name.
I’m so confused. Help me out here, folks.
Just what the heck is a Brooklyn Decker, anyway?
