Still a bit hazy on the usage? Well the brambleness of bramble does have a tendency to leave people perplexed and speechless at times. Ah saw what I did? I gave you an example of the usage within my prose.

Perhaps its best if I showed you more examples on how to use bramble. The first three was discussed in an earlier lesson: -

1)I thought I scored a goal, but then I realised I brambled it into my own net.

2) The coach was mighty pissed, as the defender had been brambling the past thirty games in a row.

3) Owen missed another sitter from 2 yards out. Needless to say, he made a bramble out of the situation.

4) (In commentary) "Fabregas puts in a cross, the keeper comes out and flaps at it! Adebayor with an open goalllll... OH NO!! He brambled at the open goal!!
