![]() "DSK" wrote in message .. . Are you surprised NOBBY can't speak Yiddish? I'd call the above guy a schlemiel. NOYB wrote: Or a schlep. If you're not convinced, ask one of your Jewish friends. Or look it up: http://www.bartleby.com/61/69/S0136900.html Well, in many languages, the verb can also mean the person who does it. We knew what you meant, but that doesn't make it the best word for that particular usage. "The difference between the right word and almost the right word is the difference between lightning & the lightning bug" -Mark Twain DSK For what NOYB was trying to say, I think a "mope" would've been better. |
