Brusqueteer<\/strong>: \/brusk a teer<\/em>\/ Friends since childhood, the 3 girls worked the Call Centre for a giant pizza chain.

When they did finally lose their jobs, they boasted their motto,”All Fired One, One fired All!” Etymology:<\/em> Brusque (marked by rude or peremptory shortness) & Musketeer (a foot soldier armed with a musket…depicted in fiction as the Three Musketeers by Alexandre Dumas in 1844, whose motto was “All for One, One For All). Created by:<\/em> Nosila.<\/p>\n
