I was asked by new friends if Hubby and I would be having children soon. I replied 'not for a couple of years, but I do get broody.' They looked at me in confusion. 'Broody?' I replied 'yeah, like a chicken. I'm ready to lay some eggs.'
This is a phrase used a lot by women in Britain to mean 'having a strong desire to have a baby'. It is a term likened to hens to explain their behaviour when ready to lay eggs, so basically when a Brit uses it she means 'I'm ready to fluff up my feathers and incubate some eggs!'
