Any other Jews here???

I don't care that basset hounds are bigger than bagels: the important point for me is that they are funnier-looking.

Ah, an amorets.

 

[Calboner]

Ah, an amorets.

Huh? Google itself could not find that word. It found "Amorites" instead.

Mr. Google has been coasting for some time.
The vicissitudes of Yiddish ... so many spellings.
Here's a link that will help you.

I've seen your gallery and I think it's important that you realize that all this is a joke. Hehe.:lol:

Ah, it must be the Yiddish form ("corruption," one is tempted to say) of the Hebrew am ha'aretz (in the modern or the Sephardic pronunciation), literally "people of the land," but figuratively "ignoramus."

lol, thoroughly confused... i'm fluent in yiddish though. nobody uses the term amorets... the more common term is "shtick'a'dee'ot," "shmoyer," "shmo," or a variety of other words that more or less mean dumb ass.

1) Mostly I've heard in yiddish "ahm haw aw rets". I made it as phonetically close as I could. Clearly from עם הארץ.

2) To OP - see my thread about frum guys.

You mean this thread: http://www.lpsg.org/268940-frum-guys.html

I just posted a question there for you (on language again; wouldn't you know it?).

Frum is pronounced neither like room or rum, it is a mix of both. It is like "fr'euh'm" There is no english word I can think of that rhymes with it.

Thanks for trying to answer my question, but the combination of letters that you have written does not convey anything to me. It is difficult to communicate anything here without the use of phonetic notation. I suspect that you mean that "frum" is pronounced [frʊm], with the vowel of "book," as in the New England or UK pronunciation of the word "room." In English, "eu" represents phonetic [ju], as in "euphony"; otherwise, I can only recognize it as representing French [œ] or [ø]; but those vowels do not occur in any dialect of Yiddish as far as I know.

[red7.5]

Not a Jew, but I have been asked if I am Jewish by maybe 6 Jews over the past 20ish years. One asked, rhetorically, , "how do you know more about Judaism than I do"? If I believed in G*d, I'd be a Jew for sure.

 

[D_zbrfz]
