Synopsis
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. Written to help her Gentile husband and others like him who fall for believing a Jewish mother-in-law when she says, "Don't bother driving me, I'll take a cab," Jewish as a Second Language shows how to be one of the family--how to worry, how to interrupt, how to change your hotel room. It's not Yiddish. Though non-Jews can endear themselves by learning how to mis-use words like schmendrick and schmatta --providing both laughs and confirmation of Jewish superiority--this Jewish language is about the complex twists and somersaults of everyday speech, of unexpected nuances, hidden meanings, and swampy thickets of behavior, of wins, losses, and draws in competitions you never knew you entered. It's about the most common OAQs (obsessive anal questions): "This mole looks okay, doesn't it?" "Can Saltines go bad?" "They'll de-ice the wings before takeoff, right?" The Four Basic Shrugs. Acronyms never to use again: NASCAR, STD, and MRSA ( Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus , the potentially deadly skin virus that's spread by contact, and also by talking about it casually). The things non-Jews do for fun and what Jews do: Contra dance/Contradict, Read the comics/Read the obituaries, Get your boobs done/Get your taxes done. Stuff never found in a Jewish home (trout flies, a lineoleum knife, a Lay-Z-Boy, a rottweiler) or mouth (Miracle Whip, marshmallow fluff, Bud). So you'll sit, you'll read, you'll laugh until you're nauseous. It's a nice book., 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.

So you'll sit, you'll read, you'll laugh until you're nauseous. It's a nice book. ", When Molly Katz married a Gentile, she never expected him to master words like schmatta and schlemiel, but she also didn't realize how different Jews are from the people who aren't. Real Jewish has nothing to do with Yiddish, but is instead full of complex twists and somersaults on everyday speech, of unexpected nuances, hidden meanings, and swampy thickets of behavior.As much about culture as it is about phrases, this guide covers everything from body language-the shrugs, the hands, the faces-to behavior, customs, quirks, and ordering Chinese food. The author reveals how an ingrown toenail can be worried into a life-threatening condition. She lists items never found in Jewish homes-trout flies, Rottweilers, drawers of peek-a-boo nighties-and appropriate words for when someone gets sick: "I'm not surprised," and "Oh, my God, I was with you last week!"So you'll sit, you'll read, you'll laugh.Over 217,000 copies in print.

The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.How to chalk talk, by Harlan Tarbell (#197064259889)
