Don't forget to read the posts at Stephen Kruiser's Morning Briefing, Maggie's Farm, and Larwyn's Linx!
The word at Harold Ticktin's Yiddish Vinkl is eigen, which means eyes, and he quotes this proverb: "Der mensch hot zwei eigen, zwei eihren, ober nor ein moil. / Man has two eyes, two ears, but only one mouth. Because you will learn twice as much as what you will ever have to say.”
This is unbelievable. The San Francisco speech enforcers are now sanitizing crime-related words and phrases: "Crime-ridden San Francisco has introduced new sanitized language for criminals, getting rid of words such as 'offender' and 'addict' while changing 'convicted felon' to 'justice-involved person.'... The local officials say the new language will help change people’s views about those who commit crimes." In other words, they don't want the public to know the truth! Gee - I wonder what the PC replacement for "crime wave" will be?
