Is blowing bubbles with bubble gum tznius?
i don’t think that it’s necessarily Assur but it’s just not what a frum person should be doing
It’s totally gross.
Not after the age of five
“I doubt girls, or boys, in religious schools would see how big they can blow a piece of bubble gum outside of class (btw gum was also assur in public school). At least it probably was frowned upon or at least not encouraged.”
The boys in my class used to throw spit balls during math. Speaking of gross…
Something to do with math being bitul Torah……??
I think that a teenage girl I know once mentioned that her teacher used to chew gum. She explained to her students that it’s because she was on a diet.
Or maybe I got the story wrong, and that’s why she allowed this girl to chew gum in class. Or maybe it was both.
It is the unclassy thing I have ever seen!
Does “bubble gum” refer to (i) the food-like, overly sweet ball of wax and near-edible substances that is swallowed by children under 3, or (ii) a hideous form of music from the late 1960’s? The music is definitely not tznius, the other stuff – I don’t know.
“Maybe. Personally I think that smoking cigarettes is less classy.”
+1
p.s. I hope you are not insulted that you only got one point for that. +1 means “I am maskim” whereas +1,000 (for example) means either that I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart or that I want to compliment you.
In this case, I want to say that I agree, and not that I am complimenting you or thanking you, so you should not feel bad that you got a +1.
If you want a +1,000, you will have to either write something really nice to me (that I will want to thank you for) or write something that deserves a compliment.
Its assur on shabbos. When else do you have gum?
“However I did not know that you could be bought with flattery.”
lol. I didn’t mean it that way at all. By the way, that whole thing was meant half-jokingly in any case. I didn’t really think you’d be offended.
I was referring to the comments on the post about point inflation. Someone made the comment that he is never sure if the points mean agreement, thanks, or a compliment. It occurred to me as I read it that that is why I do not think it is offensive to sometimes give +1,000 and sometimes give +1. I had never really analyzed that much before, but when I read that thread, it occurred to me that that is the difference between +1 and +1,000 and the reason no one should be offended.
They simply mean different things. +1 means agreement, and +1,000 is a compliment (or thanks). Maybe I am wrong and that is not how I have used the terms in the past. I don’t really remember. But when I read that post, that’s what I thought. And it seemed like a good idea to use them that way.
Shopping – since when is gum special for Shabbos? Actually, it doesn’t seem so Shabbosdik to me. Why can’t you have gum during the week?
I think she meant the bubbles.
