    I'm more stunad, since I am Italian and my grandparents are from Naples and Tuscany.  Stunad.

    I am not Italian, but I think it's STUNOD. At least that's how Tony Soprano spelled it on his boat.

    I'll take it.  I never spelled it before and I really thought it was just family slang and not a real word.  Who knew?

    Of course. In a nice way. I can also be a schmuck when necessary.

  • My grandmother used to say that her husband was meschugge ( that was in former East Prussia in Germany at the Baltic Sea - about 1940), and my grandfather's reaction was just a deep laugh.....

    Anybody who spoke Yiddish in eastern Europe was lucky to be alive in 1940.

  • Our family spoke "Hoch-Deutsch" only. We were pure Prussians. Meschugge is the only Yiddish word which was casually used in a funny sense. This post was edited by Benedict Arnold at November 15, 2019 6:38 AM MST

    OK. My only relatives who survived all got out by 1938.

    Some of mine came over early as well, but I had an uncle who grew up in Vienna. He was tipped off just in time and left the day before the Nazis occupied Austria in 1938.

    Why are you telling this so openly?  It makes you very close to being deported if Trump has his way.  Unless you support him.  And I am not really sure you don't.  You like him far more than is good for you, that is for sure.

    As a US citizen, how can I be deported and where to? Trump has nothing to do with it. You are paranoid far more than is good for you, to be sure.
