[net.religion.jewish] Martillo the Frank vs. the VusVusim

wkp@lanl-a.UUCP (10/18/84)

Though I do not condone any derogatory statements about any Jewish
communities in the world, I find it illuminating to witness all the
feedback on the net from Martillo's use of the word "VusVus".

Lest people forget, the term "VusVusim" came into Israeli slang a
long time after such terms as "Frankim" had made their way into
Ashkenazi usage as ethnic slurs on the Sephardim.

So to all of you Frankim, VusVusim, Groozinim, AngloSaksim, Yekkim,
Taymanim, Morrokaim, etc., etc., my wishes for a happy 5735.
