        Goy and goyim are also just actually words that are fairly commonly used by many English speaking Jews.

        Fair amount of other Yiddish and Hebrew words other than goy/goyim are used this way as well.

        Its like… an additional vernacular.

        Chutzpah, means basically … shameless audacity, or … arrogant presumption of privilege, something like that.

        Oi Vey! … basically ‘Woe is me!’, but also kind of more like ‘Oh shit/fuck/no’… sort of.

        … I’m not saying you can’t use these words and phrases as like, part of a cariacature, but they are also just words and phrases you’d have probably picked up, growing up in a Jewish family, or around them.

        Similar to how you’d have an additional vernacular set if you were from some other cultural/ethic/religious background…

        … not exactly the same, but Evangelical Christians for example have a weird tendency to pluralize ‘evidence’ into ‘evidences’, use ‘discernment’ in common speech waaay more often than others do, etc.

        Fun fact. /pol/ was created the day after Epstein met moot and gave him a ride home. Q anon appeared there a couple years later with pizza gate.

        Epstein was one of those elitist jews that called non jews goyim like muggles or some shit. Amazing how much worse 4chan is than every other chan. I never thought I would miss 8chan

    Education time.

    Dashiell Hammett was a WW1 veteran who fought the Army for the right to join up to fight Hitler. After the war he was sent to jail for refusing to name names when the government wanted to know who was in the Communist Party.

    After working as a real life detective, Hammett turned to writing crime fiction. In one of his stories he used authentic crook slang. ‘The rag lay’ was stealing laundry off of clothes lines. It was the kind of thing only the lowest miscreants would do. His editor censored ‘the rag lay’ because it sounded dirty to him. Hammett didn’t raise a fuss, but in his next story he had his hero call a cheap crook a ‘gunsel’ and a ‘punk.’

    ‘Gunsel’ and ‘punk’ were both slang for men who offered sex for protection in prison.

      “Gunzel” is also Australian/New Zealand slang for trainspotter/railway enthusiast. Not sure if it’s related.

      Wait, wait, I’m still confused. Is diggity a good thing or not? Should I be aiming for an overwelming surplus of it, and if I should, is it really surplus, or should I be trying to expunge it from my life entirely?

        You only want in the correct amount. Not enough diggity is almost as bad as too much diggity. So by diggity extension, an overwhelming amount of diggity is indeed too much diggity and thus not diggity at all.

        Diggity diggity.
