A Yiddish lesson

[len19070]

Same thing goes on in Italian. As my Grandmother would say "it doesn't sound good in english.

I won't even go into Italian nick names.

Both cultures are very close..EX.

I have an Uncle Izzy and an Uncle Frank. I sware these guys are the same person. At any family function, I've never seen them both in the same room at the same time.

We're starting to thin out too. I married an Irish/German girl, Whom I love dearly. But the Family (the older ones) refer to her as "De Amedagan" (the american)

Happy Trails

I refer to my wife coming into the room as armageddon sometimes.

I think that during the course of our builds, most of us fall under all THREE categories at one time or another.

And about that ham thing:

There's Jew, and there's Jew Lite. I fall into the latter category.

Actually, Ultralite.

Amazing how I was eventually able to bring this thread around to TDs.
