| No cake for you! |
From GA's Inbox:
Earlier this year Tim attended a senior bingo night and brought two cakes, put them down on the refreshment table when everyone was looking, then picked one of them up and left when they weren't.Wow, does it get worse than that? Stealing cake from old folks at Bingo night!
GA's reminded of a Yiddish word my parents used on occasion:
SHNORRER: A begger, a moocher, a cheapskate, a chiseler.
Yiddish is a wonderful German dialect whose onomatopoeic adjectives are always appropriate to describe occasions - and people - such as our own Tim-Wit. Words like "Schmuck" or "Schlemiel" or "Schlemazel". Or, as we say in English: "asshole".
