Jewish as a Second Language - 4953

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?)
