How about this...

Please tell me if you think it's ok to use the phrase

"jewing down."

We might as well see just what is and isn't acceptable to

some people

here.


Not acceptable...

Scotty--do you use the term "Jewish overdrive" for neutral? I

always heard

that was an old trucker's term.


I knew it as 'Georgia overdrive', but , I did hear it that way
too.

When I was a kid, my Mom lectured me one time after I used the
phrase, ''that's a gyp. She explained that a good friend of ours
was Jewish and she felt that was derogatory to Jews.
I think some people are just too sensitive.

Must be a heritage thing...in our house, the word "gyp" referred to
someone who was Rom and their trading practices...

I just showed where it is. That' what startd the discussion. Is Abraham
important in Jewish history? Did he not bargain God himself down from 50
to 5 souls?

Sorry but I don't have my Pentateuch handy. Try GEN 18:23-33 in the KGB.

Also, I was mistaken. I was from 50 to 10 (not 5).

No one cares if it offends you. The point is that it offends the vast
majority of a people.

Naw, just the PC pukes you're familiar with - Generation X weirdos who go
catatonic if they hear a "bad" word.

because we have a thing called free speech. ....

Obviously no one can tell you anything since you choose to remain forever
misinformed.

As a child I once come home sniveling that some other kids had called me bad
names. My wise grandmother quoted a childrens' verse "Sticks and stones may
break my bones but names shall never hurt me." The verse is absolutely
correct - no word(s) can hurt anybody unless the victim allows them to. I took
that to heart and was never hurt by names again or jokes again, ethnic or
personal. I'm sorry if the weak are hurt or offended by various innocous
phrases - not because of having voiced them but because of that persons'
weakness and the insecurity that causes him/her the pain. But that weakness is
self imposed.

Ask yourself why a phrase like "Jew down" offends you? Are you Jewish but
ashamed of it? Or perhaps you are so paranoid that you believe everybody hates
Jews? Might I suggest that you wouldn't be offended if you were *proudly*
Jewish and believed, as I do, that only nutcases hate any ethnic group.

Or are you so antisemetic yourself that you ascribe negative thoughts to the
word "Jew"? If so, do you think everybody is as antisemetic as yourself and are
ashamed of yourself and them? Perhaps counseling might help.

In any event, it is YOUR own hangups that are causing you discomfort.

Meanwhile, the world is full of ethnic jokes and phrases, most based on a grain
of truth. Why can't Italians drown? Cuz we're afraid of water and when we're
afraid we talk and when we talk we wave our arms like we were swimming. Why do
Polish have round shouldersand flat foreheads? Because they shrug when asked
that question then slap their forehead when they hear the answer. Why do NYrs
..... no that IS too dirty.

Too bad you can't enjoy them.

Claimed that the word 'gyp' is a derivative from the word 'Jew.
Anyway, we were kids, didn't stop using the word.

I have no argument with Crantz, various sockpuppets, or anyone saying
disgusting or hateful things. I don't have to like it, and I have just as
much right to express my opinion as they do to say it.

Yes, you certainly do, and I don't recall anyone telling you to shut up. OTOH,
I do urge you to strive to understand that these "things" are "disgusting and
hateful" only to you and people like you who have pavlovian responses -
responses drummed into you by your upbringing in a very artificial world. It is
your own mind and prejudices that are hurting and disgusting you - words cannot.
They can only trigger your own pavlovian responses. Those of us who voided or
shed these prejudices can even enjoy jokes tht you cannot.

Did you hear about the sailors marooned on a desert island facing certain death?
A geni pops up and offers each one a single wish. Oh, to be back in Scotland
says Scotty and poof, there he is. I wish I was captaining a well provisioned
100' yacht with an all-girl crew through the south Pacific wished the Auzzi and
poof! Whine, cried the NYr. I'm so lonely! I wish all my PC friends were here
with me ... and poof ....
