Hmm. To me, the issue with "salvation" isn't that it's uncommon, but the connotation is almost exclusively Christian (in contemporary US context, of course) -- not just help, but the specific theology. Of course, "deliverance" is pretty much the movie. They should stick to "help".
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

(norah now only holds the meaning of "really really bad" in speaking Israeli Hebrew
I'm thinking there aren't many girls named Norah in Israel these days.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
In Israeli Hebrew, help isn't the word for geula (ezra is).
I'm thinking there aren't many girls named Norah in Israel these days.
Different spelling. Nora(h) (private name) is נורה, nora(h) (adj.) is נורא. And just to make things more confusing, נורה can also be nura, which is a light bulb or "got shot/fired at" (for singular male).

Feeling even more love for Ezra Klein. Which, frankly, I didn't think was possible as Rachel and Keith love him and he looks like a long-lost Eppes brother anyway(In my book, lovable things) But his name seems to fit his work on the Washington Post on top of everything.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh, and for people who find Israeli slang interesting: let me introduce you to what "goat" means in slang.
"A goat fell on me" - someone told me to do a task I really don't want to do and which bothers me. i.e., "where am I supposed to find an open supermarket during Sabbath?"/"I'm suposed to pick up WHO? From WHERE?!". Mostly used as "Oh man, don't ask [about] the goat that fell on me...".
"He got a goat" begins to have the similar meaning of "he had a cow", but the use of it is still pretty rare.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir, it's unlikely, but would that have anything to do with the Jewish story about the man whose rabbi advises him to move his goats into his house? The Girl likes that story. When we get overwhelmed, we talk about "too many goats."

Have any of you had severe pancreatitis and/or a feeding tube that bypasses the pancreas? Email me if so. I'm trying to help Drew cope.

Are they pronounced differently?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Shir, congratulations on the DJ gig. How cool.
Drew, if you get enough feeding tubes coming out of your nose you can probably go as Cthulu for Halloween.
Sorry, that's all the silver lining I have. I do hope your body rallies and disinfects quickly. This must be so hard on both of you.
