History
Etymology
An alteration of Bridget. Originated after an anonymous post on Tumblr stating that a friend who does not play the game became obsessed with the character but kept on unknowingly calling her “Brisket” was widely shared.
From Middle English brusket, probably from Old Danish bryske (“cartilage, gristle”), from Old Norse brjósk, from Proto-Germanic *briuskiz (compare German Brausche (“knot on the head”)). Cognate with Danish brusk, Icelandic brjósk.
