[Cz-L] Our language

Observed in latest wave:
"Er pisht mit boimel" Usually in female :" Sie pisht etc " ridiculing
excessive fake religious manifestations,
"Sie steckt sach Feidern in Tuches" imitating the peacock tail - putting on
a show.
 Dirty worn clothes were worn if there was no better choice not for virtue.
  This observation can only be made by a Bessesre Snob.
  In the Bible God said to Moses : I will make you a big Goy meaning nation.
   In our use it was meant to name all non Jews- the Gentiles.
    But somehow derogatory. The diluted counterpart of"Jid " .
     They all knew it and didnt like it too much.
     " Shiker wi a Goy " Drunk as a Goy." A goysher Kop " A dumbhead.
    Interesting that in German there is no derogatory form for" Jud".
   For this they had to use additions: Saujud, Schweinejud, Scheissjud.
     For this we loved the German language so much.
