Titolo: Rabbi?

Joeva:nnee Neema:n

 Quale potrebbe essere la parola originale?
Non capisco la tua domanda.
"Rabbi" e "steak" hanno ben poco a che spartire, se sei sicuro che la 
parola pronunciata sia "rabbi", l'errore č nel sottotitolo.

 dire "rabbi" (rabbŕi) e viene tradotto con "bistecca".
Be'... magari col contesto si capisce un po' meglio. Parlava a un 
rabbino o a una bistecca? 8-)

"I aim to misbehave". 

 
Forse mangiava una bistecca quando parlava al rabbino.

I wracked my brain trying to think of what the problem could be, but "rib 
eye" never crossed my mind.
One thing I *was* sure of: It wasn't "pork loin."  :-)


 era un rib eye kasher approvato da un rabbino.
no non c'entra niente. devi ammettere però che non conoscendo rib eye 
detta velocemente uno poteva capire rabbi.

Certo. Sara' una costata di manzo? Vedere sull'ormai immancabile
Wikipedia, che illustra anche l'ubicazione della futura rib eye sulla
mucca. Ci vorrebbe un macellaio per chiarirci le idee.

I had it for dinner (again) last night.
As quoted from Wikipedia:
The Rib eye or ribeye is a beef steak from a cow's rib section. When cut into 
steaks, the rib eye is one of the most popular (and expensive) steaks on the 
market. Meat from the rib section is tender and fattier (the meat is said to 
be "marbled") than other parts of the cow. This extra fat makes rib eye 
steaks and roasts especially tender and flavorful. Unlike a lot of steaks, 
the ribeye is often served bone-in, particularly at high quality steakhouses. 
...

In restaurants, it's usually served as, and called, Prime Rib, with the bone 
attached. When I get rib eye, the bone has been removed.

It seems that Cynthia thinks I talk too much.
Right, Cinzia? :-PPPPP

Is that Yochi the bear? Yochi the bear is on this ng?! Cool. Where's

 of thing.
IMVHO I thought the reason for this NG was to practice, exercise one's 
abilities in and inquire about particular or baffling usages in English.
IMVVHO a post from a native speaker making use of everyday vernacular, for 
the purpose of exposing a learner to that (as opposed to literary uses, 
which, while wonderful to be exposed to, are not particularly useful for 
those who want to learn to speak like a native) is not OT.
I have no interest in blogging.
I'm not an egotist.
I was trying to be of help here.

on Usenet he has the right to write whatever he wants and you have 
several other rights: the right not to read, the right not to answer, 
the right to kill him (in the Usenet sense, of course -> Ctrl+K), etc.
This group is not moderated, therefore everybody can do whatever he 
wants. There are other ways of opposing to them. (and by doing it, 'end 
it').
Of course you have the right too to write what you wrote, and I to 
answer you, and you to ignore me, and everybody to line up with me 
against you....etc. :-)
smile, it's a small world after all.

Thank you for the support.
I invite anyone who feels the urge to do so, either to killfile me or to 
simply ignore my posts.
That goes for you, too, Cynthia.
And yes, I'll always keep smiling.
Thanks again.
And Good Shabbas, although belatedly.

Follow your own advice. It was all to laugh.
How many times do I have to tell people to google things?
If you had googled the immortal Boo Boo, you would have found the
answer at hit number three.
Yogi and Boo Boo. Yochi and Boo Boo. Siiiighhhh.
Well, *I* invented TMT (Too Much Testosterone). And as there is TMT on
this ng, I'm outta here.
See you later :-DDDDDDD

Heh. What makes you think I have any appreciable testosterone? Do you not 
realize that Joey is also a girl's name?

GOTCHA!
Of course I have testosterone: I'm brimming over with it. It's downright 
embarrassing sometimes!
Anyway, I was just giving it back to you. You were snotty (and you know it; 
and you usually aren't) so I figured you were in a bad mood or something.
I apologize if I offended you.
And I just want to add that, in my own snit, I pretended not to know who Boo 
Boo was, thereby rendering your intended pun ineffective, (Yogi=Yochi) when 
the truth is I know Yogi and Boo Boo only too well. But that's another story.
(I was somewhat afraid I had taken too much liberty calling Yochanan 'Yochi' 
and hoped I hadn't been too forward in that.)
Ok. Testosterone checked at the door.
Come back in side now, please and let me buy you a beer.... er, a wine 
spritzer. Or would you prefer a Shirley Temple to go with all that
estrogen?   :-PPPPP


 
Good point.
Speaking of Chinese dishes (your other post) I think I'll have that for 
dinner tonight. I'll skip the joules, though. They're fattening.
Cynthia, would you like some?

Ciao,

 C'è il doppio significato?
Yes, except that "my pigs are fattening [themselves]" because I am feeding 
them is usually expressed as
My pigs are fattening up.
I suppose if you use the whole phrase you don't need "up":
My pigs are fattening because I'm feeding them high-fat food.
There's also "getting fat" in that context.
Or in my case, "got fat." :-)

All my Jewish friends say "Shabbos". There is a lot of Yiddish spoken here.
You're right, there aren't very many Ladino speakers here.
In an English-language Israeli film set in Israel in the 1940s which gave
Tom Hanks one of his first starring roles, there is a lot of Ladino spoken
which requires subtitles (not to be confused with Adpuf's "Ladin").
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091019/combined
«This is the only film use of this language I know of, though Ladino surely
is present in other, but unexported or little distributed Israeli
productions.»

Is there an Italian equivalent for "Shabbos goy"?

Interessante, non conoscevo l'esistenza di questa figura.
In rete, in italiano, si trova 'goy del sabato', 'goy dello Shabbat' e
'Shabbat goy'.
Grazie Joe, sei una miniera di notizie!

When I worked for Mt. Sinai Medical Center, as part of my orientation I was 
shown the Sabbath Elevator: specially programmed to stop on every floor in 
both directions on the Sabbath.
It allows observant Jews to ride to any floor in the patient wing without 
having to press a button.

I read this post in the late afternoon, and I've never heard of such a weird 
thing before. Then a show about Gerusalem tonight (still on air) has talked of 
an elevetor which works, on Saturdays, exaclty as you explain.
Che combinazione, disse una cassaforte incontrandone un'altra. (Ok this one was 
too bad).

The restrictions which strictly observant Jews impose on themselves go back
to the Old Testament, from which rabbis codified the 39 "forbidden acts",
that is 39 types of work which were forbidden on the Sabbath.
The prohibition against turning electric lights on or off is derived from
the ancient prohibition against "kindling a fire" or "extinguishing a fire"
on the Sabbath. Turning on or off any electrical device, even an elevator,
is a logical continuation of this line of thinking.
