Er hot a gojischen Kopp

Er hot a gojischen Kopp

steht ungefähr für „Er ist dumm“.

Goi bezeichnete ursprünglich einfach Nichtjuden, kann aber wie oben, anscheinend auch pejorativ “als Hinweis auf ‘unjüdisches’,[…] lasterhaftes oder unintelligentes Verhalten” verwendet werden. 😛 So gesehen, scheint es das “jüdischen Equivalent” von Kafir zu sein; mit der Ausnahme, dass Kafir keine Konnotation bzgl. der Intelligenz einer Person hat. 🙂

Why choose the lesser evil?

There was a really funny column in the Washington Post right after Bush’s reelection in 2004 titled “An Off-Color Rift” … but the topic seems oddly familiar:

Besides, running away is never the answer, unless you are a teenage boy who has just blown up a mailbox. As Americans, we need to stay here in America and work things out, because regardless of what color or hue of state we live in, we are all, deep down inside our undershorts, Americans. And as Americans, we must ask ourselves: Are we really so different? Must we stereotype those who disagree with us? Do we truly believe that all red-state residents are ignorant, racist, fascist, knuckle-dragging, NASCAR-obsessed, cousin-marrying, roadkill-eating, tobacco juice-dribbling, gun-fondling, religious-fanatic rednecks; or that all blue-state residents are godless, unpatriotic, pierced-nosed, Volvo-driving, France-loving, left-wing communist, latte-sucking, tofu-chomping, holistic-wacko, neurotic, vegan, weenie perverts?

So this bears one question: why even bother choosing the lesser evil? 😉
