chained_bear commented on the word branglis
Said of something which is defective, deceptive or invalid, a miss, misfit or misfire. A fault or a let in tennis or fives, a top or a slice in golf, a mis-cue in billiards, if the Manx-speaking world had played those games, would have been ' branglis.' "Cries Tom, 'it's branglis, that's not fair at all'" (Quarrie, "Old Times"), Manx braraglash, defined by Cregeen as "something wrong, in error, amiss."
