Subject: Re: [Cz-L] On Topic, Off Topic.


My parents, Pearl Spiegel Fichman and Yehudi David Fichman, used to
laugh at the name Moishe Pinkepoyer (spelling?) but I can't remember if
they explained what was funny about it. Do any of you know? My father
used to use the expression, in English, 'talking to ___ is like talking
to a piece of wood' (or, sometimes, 'like talking to a stone'). I'm
imagining there was a Yiddish equivalent that this came from. Are any
of you able to confirm this? - Eytan

Why don’t you explain what a ZWIOK is and I hope you have your
BUKANTSHEN on as you are getting deeper in to BLOTE.
