Actually, what I mean to say is "I suspect that you will _not_ be able to resist the urge..." Thank you for allowing me to make the correction. > Now here, is a MO sighting where he clearly insults gays, by = >calling Roman a "boychik" and I'll translate that for you, it means = >Faggot. It is? not in _my_ Yiddish dictionary it ain't. This is one of those instances where Yiddish soaks up the local vernacular. My grandmother, who's never been to Brooklyn, used to call me, when I was about yea big, in her best Minskian Yiddish, a schmendrechik. Boychik is a Brooklyn Yidishism which indicates a very young boy. Period. There is nothing about sexual orientation in the term. > This is not some kind of dreamed up theory, like my case. MO = >actually said it! Of course I did. My purpose in saying this carefully calculated put down was to indicate to Roman that he is still wet behind the ears, and there is much for him to learn before he gets to my place. It has nothing to do with his sexual orientation. As far as I know he is a married man with a wife and two kids. > Now I would have thought that you would burn him at = >the stake for that one Dudley, but it seems your hypocrisy knows no = bounds. So is _your_ ignorance of the Yiddish vernacular. Matanya Ophee Editions Orphe'e, Inc., 1240 Clubview Blvd. N.
