“Actually the tread was about animal insults in yiddish and they are not so common in other languages”

Yes, thats how it started and I popped in to provide plenty of English examples of animal insults in English

On the subject of insults someone else (not me) popped in with the worst Yiddish insult “The worst insult is “Am Ha’aretz”. The very, very worst”

You replied to that fellow (not me) with two statements

1) ” I would rather be associated with an am hareatz who has emucha peshuta then a lamdam who has warped haskafa,”

2) “PS other than in the zip code 08701 an am haretz is not insult.”

Statement 1 has nothing to do with the thread as I pointed out in my last comment (somethign can still be an insult even if you prefer them because of some other quality)

Statement 2 was relevant, though incorrect which is what I replied initially, and we got conformation from other zip codes too
