I think in Yiddish a p-ssy is a kiss.
And my aunt has zero problems yelling across a hall or wherever she is. Come give Bobby a p-ssy.
We have told her so many times that’s it’s not a nice word to use in public. Or in private. And she still can’t get it straight.

I grew up speaking Yiddish and I’ve never heard that.

Where I live an eraser is also called a rubber. My elderly neighbor told me that I should call it an eraser and explained why.

I don't get this one. Can someone explain?

A rubber is another name for a condom.

But I don't see what's wrong with calling an eraser a rubber.

I once announced loud and clear in a big group of people, the funniest thing I saw, where a lady put down her baby’s car seat on the floor and the husband picked it up. I thought they were super frum and didn’t even pass the baby between them. One of the girls there later told me quietly that sometimes couples can’t pass things and I felt so stupid!

As a teen I used to forward jokes that circled around to family group all the time. One joke I didn’t understand but I forwarded it anyway. It was a dirty joke about confusing books for boo-bs. Later my cousin told me if you don’t understand a joke don’t send it around. was mortified.

I grew up in America and live in Israel as an adult. My daughter learned to play the recorder in school and came home playing Jingle Bells one day. I stopped her and asked her if she knows what the song is and she said the teacher told the class that it is just a tune and no one here knows what it is or has associations with it, so there is no problem. But every time my dd played Jingle Bells it really bothered me - not because I thought it was bad for her (she doesn't know it either), but because I moved to Israel to be in a Jewish country and my sweet innocent frummy little girl is coming home with x-mas songs!!!

After I moved to Israel from America, I lived with a roommate who got engaged/married. She left a shopping bag in the apartment with the name of a store I had never heard but it was a really good quality bag. Turns out it was a lingerie store, but I didn't learn that until I had been carrying it everywhere for 8 months I dont want to see

I have a nice garment bag from a lingerie store, and put a name label over their name

That’s actually a great discussion to have about tznius, about there being a time and place for everything.

We were eating a seudah at my parents friends house. I was reading the cover of their bentcher, did some math, and loudly proclaimed "wow! your oldest was born 9 months after your wedding!" I was a young child and thought that was so cool for some reason.

I sat down on the couch next to my younger sister (I was married, she was upper elementary) and she says to me “let’s get intimate”.

I’m like wait what?

She meant let’s have an intimate conversation. But weird choice of words.
