WELCOME to Thursday April 12, 2012. Hebonics…. 
The New York City school board has officially declared Jewish English, now  dubbed ‘Hebonics’, as a second language. Backers of the move say the city’s  School District is the first in the state to recognize Hebonics as a valid  language and significant attribute of New York culture. According to  Howard Schollman, linguistics professor at New York University and renowned  Hebonics scholar, the sentence structure of Hebonics derives from middle and  eastern European language patterns, as well as Yiddish. Prof. Schollman  explains, “In Hebonics, the response to any question Is usually another question — plus a complaint that is implied or stated. Thus, ‘How are you?’ may be  answered, How should I be, with my feet?'” Schollman says that Hebonics  is a superb linguistic vehicle for expressing sarcasm or skepticism. An example  is the repetition of a word with “sh” or “shm” at the beginning:  “Mountains,shmountains. Stay away. You want a nosebleed?” Another  Hebonics pattern is moving the subject of a sentence to the end, with its  pronoun at the beginning: “It’s beautiful, that dress.” Schollman says  one also sees the Hebonics verb moved to the end of the sentence. Thus the  response to a remark such as ‘He’s slow as a turtle,’ could be: “Turtle,  shmurtle! Like a fly in Vaseline he walks.” Schollman provided the  following examples from his textbook, Switched-On Hebonics.

Question:  “What time is it?”
English answer: “Sorry, I don’t know.”
Hebonic answer:  “What am I, a clock?”

Remark: “I hope things turn out okay.”
English  response: “Thanks.”
Hebonic response: “I should BE so lucky!”

Remark:  “Hurry up. Dinner’s ready.”
English response: “Be right there.”
Hebonic  response: “Alright already, I’m coming. What’s with the ‘hurry’ business? Is  there a fire?”

Remark: “I like the tie you gave me, wear it all the  time.”
English response: “Glad you like it.”
Hebonic response: “So what’s  the matter; you don’t like the other ties I gave you?”

Remark: “Sarah and  I are engaged.”
English response: “Congratulations!”
Hebonic response:  “She could stand to gain a few pounds.”

Remark: To guest of honor at his birthday party:
English remark: “Happy birthday.”
Hebonic remark: “A year smarter  you should become.”

Remark: “A beautiful day.”
English response: “Sure  is.”
Hebonic response: “So the sun is out; what else is  new?”

Remark: Answering a phone call from son:
English remark: “It’s been a  long time since you called.”
Hebonic remark: “You didn’t wonder if I’m dead  yet?”
That’s my story and I’m sticking too it! Have a great Thurday people, and whatever you  do, don’t forget to LAUGH IT UP! Peace I am outta here, Eucman!

QUOTES OF THE DAY
Carry laughter with you wherever you go.  ~Hugh  Sidey

Laughter is a tranquilizer with no side effects.   ~Arnold Glasow

Perhaps I  know best why it is man alone who laughs; he alone suffers so deeply that he had  to invent laughter.  ~Friedrich Nietzsche

In promulgating your esoteric cogitation or articulating your superficial  sentimentalities, and amicablephilosophical or psychological observations,  beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your conversational communications possess a compacted conciseness, a  clarified comprehensibility, a coalescent cogency, and a concatenated  consistency. Eschew obfuscation and all conglomeration of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement, and asinine affectations. Let your extemporaneous descanting and unpremeditated expatiation have  intelligibility and voracious vivacity without rodomontade or thrasonical  bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profundity, pompous prolificacy, and vain  vapid verbosity. In short: “Be brief and don’t use big words.”
