Like I said I understand. I got it......it was merely a statement, not directed at you. Alls well in the house of insanity

True a statement like that would be discrimatory in society today. I was just trying to share a little history. We often here statements such as "over the hill", on the wagon, out to lunch, short of a full load, bun in the oven etc. I like to know where these daily statements - figures of speech originated from. It was not intended to insult anyone. If you found it to be offensive my apologies. I am not looking for a battle just clicks.

Apparently you're looking for a battle because I didn't say YOU are a bigot, I said that "jewing down" is a bigoted statement. Whether Jews said it themselves or not, it is. I understand as part of history it was used. Just like in Tom Sawyer "injun" was used. But as someone who is half Jewish I was just saying that it isn't a statement that can be made today. Relax!
