  8. CW: Academic paper on Jewish English in Australia and USA

    I don't remember participating in the original survey exploring the familiarity of Jewish English terms among Australian and American Jewish and non-Jewish people, but I was informed that the paper based on the survey has been published, and it's highly illuminating for a linguistics nut like me.

    Generally, Australian non-Jews are less likely to be familiar with Jewish English terms (chutzpah, shlep, kvetch, menorah) than their American counterparts, with the exception of a small set of words that have entered Australian general speech (cobber, shemozzle, shtum, gazumped), which American Jewish and non-Jewish people don't use much.

    I love "barmi" and "batmi" for bar/bat mitzvah and I will now use these at any possible opportunity.
