It’s a NICE book.
Forget Yiddish. Real Jewish is a secret language of nuance, argument, and somersaults of everyday speech; of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you had no idea you’d entered. It’s everything from mastering the OAQ (Obsessive Anal Question) – “They’ll de-ice the wings before we take off, right?” – to never, ever believing your mother-in-law when she says “Don’t bother driving me, I’ll take a cab.” Now in a second edition that’s bigger, better, and with more guilt, this is the indispensable guide.
