This may be off topic, but I found it funny so I want to share it here.
I know Yiddish pretty well- many of my relatives are chassidish so I was raised hearing it all the time…
I was in a store the other day, and this chassidish lady and her friends were dissecting me and my sister in Yiddish. Apparently, they thought we wouldn’t know Yiddish cuz we don’t look like the type… So I found out that my hair is too ostentatious, my great aunt is a very special lady, I had a thread hanging from my skirt (yikes), and the chocolate I was buying is very expensive- they didn’t know my father was wealthy!
Ok, not sure what my point was in posting this. I just found it really funny. 🙂
