I always thought "hebe" or heeb" was a vulgar term for Jew but I guess we live in times where even ethnic slurs are acceptable... as long as it's someone of that ethnicity using it I guess.
Soon, I suppose, it'll even be a subject for academic admiration. I wonder then, if they'll call the study of American-Jewish slang "Heebonics"?
Hugh: The founders of the magazine chose the word to claim it the way gays have done with the word queer and to create buzz.
I always did think that the Jews had the best-developed sense of humor, especially as regards themselves. I was just thinking of a Broadway play called "Jewtopia: The Story of a Gentile Who Wants to Marry a Jewish Girl...So That He Will Never Have to Make Another Decision."
David, I just received the alert on this. Sorry it missed me by a day. Hopefully others were able to get it before last nights event. Sounded interesting. Nice to see you on again.
sorry I am behind in my reading
