A Guide to Jew-Stuff for Non-Jew's


Broken toes = bokar tov= good morning in Hebrew
Chow Mein= Amen= "I agree" at the end of a prayer
Mourner's Codfish, Half Codfish, Rabbi's Codfish, etc... = whatever KADDISH you are saying at that moment= prayer said to affirm life, designate a new prayer in the service
Tze Tze Fly= a string of the tzitzit accidentally coming out of a man's fly (yup, I've seen it)
Goygle = a bagel in a horrific fruit flavor (blueberry!) with strawberry cream cheese. Please
Guilty Fish = gefillte fish but you feel guilty not eating it b/c it looks like no fish you have ever seen in your life
Goy-Toy = Your non-Jewish mate
GoyAnnoy = Your non-Jewish mate bugging you for minor stupid things. Ex: "do we have milk?" while looking in the fridge. The reason this is not a "ManAnnoy" is b/c what Jewish house would run out of milk? a STAPLE, no less!


I highly suggest you know your audience before you use these fractured phrases. Some people are just not as funny as we are.
