itche- im not sure wht youre refering to but ive unfortunately seen my fair share of “yiddish’ humor and its revolting.

Hey, ive got another- it was common practice in europe for in-laws to commit to ‘kest’ which meant that couples ate all or a specific number of meals at the in-laws to save them money. ad kidei kach that i read a story about a gadol (cant remember who) who took his FIL to a din torah because he defaulted on kest and it affected his learning (they did have kollel back then!), and this thread was a bit started to be mafki’ah from the idea of kollel, so i think its matim.
