Yikes, I have to agree with Shigametsu Monzaemon.

Well you’re right Shigematsu Monzaemon – if one was speaking Hebrew. But people like to add yiddish inflections to their hebrew or english. It makes me cringe, but what can you do? I was talking to my cousin today and he asked me about last night’s ???????? and I was like what?? He translated that hebrew term for me – afterparty. Made me laugh. What the hell is a Shigematsu Monzaemon anyway?

I AM ashkenazi, and i even hate it. It’s like prolonged shtetle romance.

Well, while I use the Sephardi accent in both praying and speaking, if someone wishes you a “Gut Shabbes,” and you say, really obviously, “Shabbat Shalom” back, you seriously sound kind of like a dick. You know, kind of like, “I don’t respect your tradition.” (And the converse is true…if an Israeli dude wishes you a “Shavua tov,” don’t come back with “A gutte vokh.”)

I mean, come on, it’s not like Yiddish isn’t a Jewish language too. Let’s all just chillllll, yo.

They are so pointy and nippy they remind me of those boob/weapons in Austin Powers. But maybe it’s just because with that “tznius” shirt on, the nipples seem to come out of nowhere.

Honestly, what got me to click here was the word fembots in the “recent comments” sidebar.

I seem to remember someone telling me that “afterparty” itself in Hebrew is shortened to “after.” (I don’t have the Hebrew typing mastered, so I’m gonna go with phonetic transliteration here: “ehf-tehr.” Which in “texting” is “FTR.”

Is this really supposed to be a tznius store? You could put an eye out with those things. And it’s all fun and tznius/t until someone loses an eye.
