Just keep a copy of The Joys of Yiddish around. I had it in hardcover, until I had to send it to my niece, who had just figured out that some of the sexiest men alive are Jews.
SELF-HATER!
Atilla Girl,
You are such a suck-up.
Cuz, you’re telling us sexy Jewish guys your niece’s age speak Yiddish? Say what now?
Oh, yeah, I can just see it.
Sexy young Jewish guy: Se vecksen zibbeln in sein pippik.*
Attila Girl’s niece: I love it when you talk dirty.
(*Roughly: May onions grow in his navel.)
Skewed identity politics? How about a sukka behind a double-wide mobile home in rural Mississippi? ‘Cause I done seen it last week.
“We got some Choctaw in us, but I ain’t never heard of the Meshunginas.”
The Second Jewish Guy must not have grown up in St. Louis. Even the Goy there know Yiddish.
Ain’t no wannabe aspect to using Yiddish. If those damned doctors with their damned scalpels have made you anatomically Jewish, that entitles you at the very least a license to use the sprach.
TW: “deep,” as in that overdone cover tune “The First Butt is the Deepest.”
Attila Girl, I’d tell your niece that’s hardly an orthodox opinion…
KEEP YOUR ORTHOS OFF MY DOXY!
SB: able
…Nobodys touching your DOXY mojo… Oye’….. what a kvetch….
– Slowly we’re covering every part of your anatomy AG… now its your knees…. can’t wait to see whats coming next… so to speak…
word twirl: “fine”…. Shes so fine… about to make her kosher…..
Priceless! Anyone remember what comedian – I only can recall he was a regular on Barney Miller – who used to include something like this as a regular part of his stand-up routine?
Feh. Read the whole thing, already.
That Goldstein just untied himself from his butter wagon and moved into the white neighborhood and is doing his schtick for the man.
Why……..he’s nothing but a Sammy Davis, Jr.
If you really want to see a hilarious scene involving goyim throwing Yiddish phrases around, see A Mighty Wind.
Well, Hunter–glad you’re covering me up. After all, I’m happily married and if I were getting uncovered, my husband might have something to say aobut it.
“We got some Choctaw in us, but I ain’t never heard of the Meshunginas.
I take it you never saw Blazing Saddles? They attacked Sheriff Bart’s caravan.
The Hebrew Hammer…
I nwould have cast Jeff…
SB: real
keepin’ it
RS:
John Landisburg (sp?) as Detective Detrich did some funny stand-up on why southern Jews don’t go duck hunting “So, Murray, bring the dogs and come by about 4:00am.”
Oddly, this whole topic came up while I was at a Civil War reenactment in Atlanta this weekend.
An episode of M*A*S*H had Hawkeye and Trapper trying to find a Yiddish word for something or other to solve a grossword puzzle. They found a Private Greenburg and quizzed him, but he was from Mississippi and didn’t speak the language.
It could have been a <b>crossword<b> puzzle.
Heh.
color me bedunkeldt.
– Did someone use the word “coverup”…. Oh great….now we’ll have 6 more weeks of Kos kinder Bush meshugga….
Things my joooish Uncle never told me:
Mike – many thanks! That was indeed the guy. Don’t remember the duck hunting bit, but I do remember him doing a long riff speculating on the complexities of being Jewish and Southern.
Amy Sedaris, showing off her Southern sensibilities: “Greeks are just Jews without money.”
[I have mad crushes on her *and* her brother David.]
Cousin, when you’re young and there are cute boys around, you don’t want to take a chance on not understanding *any* of their phrases. (Her side of the family is Polish, so there’s probably some taboo there that makes the whole thing even more attractive.)
