Elroy, if you allow that "Jew" has two meanings, you can sort out a lot of the problems. The same word with two or more meanings has always been a communication problem. Not to mention food for many jokes. Jew means "religious brand". It also means "genetic type". Then there is the slang usage; "You are such a Jew!" meaning tightwad person [which is probably not permitted nowadays by the anti-racist norms and hate-crime laws]. Maybe there are more meanings too, which I can't think of. "Wandering Jew" is a plant which grows all over the place and hens like eating and which harbours lots of insects which hens also like eating and which produces delicious eggs. Google might have other usages. Mel Gibson might too. Mqurice
