Shlomo is a really funny name and it its lame that mostly “Israelis” have it
yiddish >> hebrew
It’s just such a funny language. I imagine my ancestors absolutely fucking around coming up with that shit
Yiddish is funny as fuck, I’ve got a member of my family who married in that’s Jewish and I picked up so many sayings from them that I didn’t even realize was Yiddish until I was an adult
i apparently know more than is expected. i grew up in an urban metro area kind of stereotypical for having a retiring population. like the nearest, reasonable workout place was a JCC. you learn things. they were just words to me and they totally work.
i moved to some very midwest rural area as an adult and at one point it came up with a visiting colleague of a friend suddenly lasering in on me and saying, “how do you know that word?” i wish i could remember which it was, because it was pretty basic, like bupkis or schlep. not even anything remarkable like schlimazel.
when i said where i was from, but admitted I wasn’t in the tribe i got this look from them like i had made an account on j-date under false pretenses lol
Ha! I’ve had this exact same experience!
Some Jews think they’re way more stealthy about being Jewish than they are.
There’s a girl who was shocked that I clocked her as jewish when she had a fucking hashem earring.
Like not to sound like an antisemitic conspiracy theorist, but jewish culture isn’t obscure.
Yiddish rules, I fuckin love to kvetch all day long and supposedly bagel comes from something like “bageleh” which means “little bend”. I’m also the schlimiel AND schlimazel
Hell yeah one of my moms best friends who i grew up hanging out with their kids is from New Jersey so I grew up herring lots of Yiddish she also happens to be very based.
