Maureen Dowd…
…probably should not venture into the world of Yiddish.
Oy, vey! It will only give her tsuris instead of nachas.
Note to MoDo: not all “kve” words are alike.

This is hilarious. Even I, a Southern WASP, know THAT one!
As The Queen would say, “We are quite amused.”
I’m a WASP from California – and I knew it also.
Tell me again, why does Maureen Dowd still get a regular paycheck for doing essentially a weekly blog-post?
Kvell…… kvetch………..”What difference does it make?”
I’m a great, great, great, great grandnephew of Jeff Davis (as goy as you get) and know that difference.
There’s no Dowd about that.
She’ll never ‘pass.’
After all the Jewish boys she dated………Oy. It’s better than mispronouncing “Corpsman” though. Does Maureen speak Austrian?
And she’s visited all 57 states, too!
Morty visits Dr. Saul, the veterinarian, and says, “My dog, has a problem.”
Dr. Saul says, “So tell me about the dog and the problem.”
“It’s a Jewish dog. His name is Irving and he can talk,” says Morty.
“He can talk?” the doubting doctor asks.
“Watch this!” Morty points to the dog and commands: “Irving, Fetch!”
Irving, the dog, begins to walk toward the door, then turns around and says, “So why are you talking to me like that? You always order me around like I’m nothing. And you only call me when you want something. And then you make me sleep on the floor, with my arthritis. You give me this fahkahkta food with all the salt and fat, and you tell me it’s a special diet. It tastes like dreck! YOU should eat it yourself! And do you ever take me for a decent walk? NO, it’s out of the house, a short pish, and right back home. Maybe if I could stretch out a little, the sciatica wouldn’t kill me so much! I should roll over and play dead for real for all you care!”
Dr. Saul is amazed, “This is remarkable! What could be the problem?”
Morty says, “He has a hearing problem! I said ‘Fetch’, not ‘Kvetch'”.
*giggle*
Thanks, BoulderRick! I liked that one!
