I'm coming down with a bad case of OY, VEY!

2. Fascinating.

The inversion of language, the subversion of the very text itself - magnificent. Clearly the surface meaning 'I'm coming down with a bad case of OY, VEY!', then the obvious non-sequitur about chicken soup are emblems of a new post-language, a post-meaning language where sign and signifier are juxtaposed as polar opposites. I applaud your brave steps into a new meta-future of linguistics, asthmaticeog. Hats off!

5. Not even TRYING to conceal your true nature, are you?

This is not sign and signifier being justaposed as opposites, this is simple slippage. You're messing with me, post-structuralist. Why?

[Marshall McClueless]

7. Oh, stop it. You're getting my medium all hot.

6. Asthmaticeog make Baby Jeebus cry with his bad Yiddish.

:P

On edit: Baby Jeebus say, "Oy Gevalt"

[asthmaticeog]

8. Jeebus didn't know Yiddish from borscht.

If you can't speak Aramaic, then daven to the hand, child.

9. Jeebus was a Jew. And I think he knew a language from Beet soup....

at least that was what I learned in Sunday School.

And, FTR - I speak Russian, being the good communist and all - does that count?

10. Yiddish didn't exist until many thousands of years after

the Guidos nailed him up, you poor deluded thing. Since Judaism denies his divinity, I can't see fit to accepting that he knew a laguage that had yet to arise in his time. His Jewish upbringing doesn't enter into it.

[JimmyJazz]

11. Huh? If Jesus died 2000 years ago are you trying to tell me that the

coffee lady invented Yiddish on SNL in 1996? What am I missing here?
