(i.e. stop blathering)) That's actually pretty interesting, and I hadn't really thought about it before. I grew up in North West London, an area with a big Yiddish community spread across places like Saint John’s Wood, Hampstead, and especially Golders Green and Stamford Hill. When we were kids, we'd often take the 32 bus to the Bagel Bar in Hendon for some delicious salt beef and mustard bagels. The London slang we use, like Cockney, has been shaped by Yiddish over the years. I've got loads of Jewish friends from back in the day, so maybe I picked up the expression from them? > On 2023-08-28 07:15, David Crayford wrote: >> On 27/8/2023 11:05 am, Tom Brennan wrote: >>> A bigger problem is Jon says things like this with such conviction and >>> authority that other people reading these posts, perhaps years from now, >>> will think they are true. >> >> Don't engage with him!
