EAST MIDLANDS DIALECT slang. both verb and adjective. Brock means broken. Similarly, Breck is a verb which means to break something. Brock can be substituted by the word "Bost" (burst) when referring to balloons, tyres or milk cartons etc But, Breck or Brock are not [used] [generally] when referring to having a break from something or using the brakes on a vehicle, these similar sounding words are always said in their original English form eg. 'I'm having [five minutes] break' or 'slow down and put your brakes on' East Midlands dialect is very diluted in modern speech and to a large extent, is dying out, so these words are considered 'common' sounding nowadays. A lot of words spoken in the E.Mids region of England have Danish origins. The author D H Lawrence, himself an Eastwood man would have been very familiar with the word 'brock' and its use in the [vernacular].
