Thank you 26.
September 17, 2009 4:59 pm at 4:59 pm #923625squeakParticipantIt would be most chivalrous of him to accept, rather than to allow some innocent young lady be beheaded in his stead!
Why do you assume innocent?
September 17, 2009 5:01 pm at 5:01 pm #923626mepalMemberthat’s why I refuse to accept. The means dont justify the ends… (I used the word ‘means’ wrong but you’ll understand anyways)
I think we should take this up elsewhere. I see the mod shaking his creased forhead back and forth again.

Posters “oomis1105” and “The Wolf” had an exchange you may enjoy in this thread: http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/half-a-cow
September 17, 2009 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm #923641NY MomMemberICOT: I stand corrected.
I should have written “serious ‘competition'” (putting it in quotes), because of course it’s all in good fun.
It is good to be sensitive to nuances like that in Elul.
By the way, “Nuance” is another fun word. I’m sure we could use it, but nothing good coming to me at the moment.
And I did check out that thread. Very punny stuff there! Thanks 🙂

September 17, 2009 6:48 pm at 6:48 pm #923643ronrsrMemberShibboleth – N., from Hebrew: any distinguishing practice which is indicative of one’s social or regional origin. It usually refers to features of language, and particularly to a word whose pronunciation identifies its speaker as being a member or not a member of a particular group.
(following from wikipedia):
Gilead then cut Ephraim off from the fords of the Jordan, and whenever Ephraimite fugitives said, ‘Let me cross,’ the men of Gilead would ask, ‘Are you an Ephraimite?’ If he said, ‘No,’ they then said, ‘Very well, say Shibboleth.’ If anyone said, ‘Sibboleth’, because he could not pronounce it, then they would seize him and kill him by the fords of the Jordan. Forty-two thousand Ephraimites fell on this occasion.
