+title: Broam Chomsky
+---
+
+A number of years ago I was building out a product with a small team, like most
+teams I've worked with, an irreverent sense of humor emerged. One of my
+colleagues quite enjoyed using the term "bro" ironically; he certainly was the
+type of person who wouldn't come within earshot of any group of people who
+might use the term with any level of seriousness. As the product started to
+take shape, we found ourselves in need of fake users in our test system. I'm
+not sure who created this first user, but the user's `fullName` was set to
+"Test Bro." Shortly thereafter another user was added: "Broam Chomsky."
+
+The wordplay obviously only got worse from there.
+
+Some time later a complaint was filed from somebody outside the team about our
+"bro culture." A comment which still strikes me as patently absurd, but
+nonetheless I was instructed to remove all of our beloved test users. Having
+enjoyed the puns created by every member of the team, I saved the list for
+posterity.
+
+Some of them aren't the best, but some continue to make me laugh. I would like
+to share the list with you now, such that the legacy of Broam Chomsky might
+live on.
