Used in a sentence: "It's times like these that I feel as if we're all just Eskimo Brothers."
Disclaimer: Today on my daily walk to get the paper, I innocently had this thought because I passed person after person bundled up like an Eskimo as a plan for dealing with the ongoing Polar Vortex (or at least, they were bundled up like I would think an Eskimo would be bundled up, had I ever met an Eskimo). It's only upon looking for an image on the google to accompany this post, that I came to learn the more modern and less innocent meaning of Eskimo Brothers.
[Note: this is eerily reminiscent of the situation when I came to learn the true meaning of the name of the bank employee who didn't help me at Wells Fargo a few years back. Click through at your own risk.]
My eyes are opened. And now I'm contemplating who belongs on the Eskimo Brother branch of my family tree. I'll private message you if I think you do ...
