We prefer culinary and not tactless art and wisdom for most part. Bramble humour or bramble anecdotes are replacement words. The intrinsic layout inside bramble witticism allows for varous outlets. Some may seem garrulous, cantankerous. Others marked by terse or outright humour.
Some bramble studies have aphoristic wisdom as one of their built-in hallmarks.
So there are many good outlets here. This artistic way of presentation is much allied with sound folk wisdom - it's often cajouling, but with a good intention deep inside it. It goes against whinking and complaining quite often. So much for the uses. There's more on it in the feature article that opens it.
