DESCRIPTION
How to Worry, How to Interrupt, How to Say the Opposite of What You Mean
How to worry, How to interrupt, How to say the opposite of what you mean Now bigger, better, and with more guilt: a completely revised, updated, and expanded second edition (would it hurt to have a little more?) of Jewish as a Second Language, the hilarious field guide to Jewish language and culture.
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. Who knew?* Jewish Cooking (the first two hours of boiling a chicken are just to make sure it's dead) * Jewish Eating (you should eat eight times a day if you're diabetic - or if you're not) * The Art of Two-Person Worrying (Jewish Ping-Pong)* The hotel-room-changing gene, the always-at-the-doctor gene, and other genes only Jews have * Boxing gloves, a rottweiler, Pop-Tarts, and fourteen other things you'll never find in a Jewish home * And so much more. (Why not?)
