sometimes i get lost with some of the hebrew and yiddish words used in the cr so i decided we should make up some new ones and define them
oongalukshena – my body feels limp and weak like a noodle

May 31, 2011 7:02 pm at 7:02 pm #863278ursula momishMemberDo you remember the book “FrumSpeak”? It was very funny and very helpful.
When we are very hungry we say we are fah-Mished.
If we need to be picked up from an extremely remote location, we are farfetched.
When we have put too much time in the CR, we have to get oisgecoffeed.

it is a cute thread though.
i say funcused when i’m confused – i know that’s not mixed with yiddish – i just like the sound of it.

May 31, 2011 9:53 pm at 9:53 pm #863283gefenParticipantgog – would i lie? 🙁
ursula – we also use fah-mished when we’re hungry.
i like the farfetched word. cute.
i know we use others but right now i can’t think of them. i’ll need my daughters’ help.

Has anyone here read anything by Milt Gross (Nize Baby; Famous Fimmales witt Odder Ewents from Heestory, etc)? I wonder if they would still seem funny to me now, or if my perspective has changed so that they would seem offensive.
June 1, 2011 11:16 pm at 11:16 pm #863285minyan galMemberThere is a wonderful old book called “The Education of H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N” by Leo Rosten. It tells the story (if I remember correctly” about a new immigrant going to night school to learn English and how he completely fractures the language. Just to be sure that I didn’t give you the wrong information, I Googled the title before I posted this. Turns out the book was originally written 72 years ago. I could barely believe it was that old. I have read it at least once – many years ago when I was a teenager – and found it very funny. It seems that it is still available, so I think it is definitely time for a re-read. I think that many of you would find it very amusing – if you like Yinglish.

it seems like no one is biting
March 28, 2012 11:44 pm at 11:44 pm #863289Shticky GuyParticipantGreat thread idea goq and I remember enjoying it when you started it, but oongalukshen… its kind of a hard word to play with.
But maybe ‘oonga’ is Swahili for pudding, so are you talking about lukshen-pudding?
Or, second attempt, do you know that really tall, thin guy called L. oongalukshen?
March 29, 2012 3:05 pm at 3:05 pm #863290Shticky GuyParticipantre-rebump
March 29, 2012 5:01 pm at 5:01 pm #863291BTGuyParticipantJust great! Another word that does not rhyme, like purple.
