I think I used the word "boobeleh," a yiddish term of endearment. Lee, in your case, the problem was a misunderstanding based on the interpretations of the words. Perhaps the person who reported you was a "purist" as he thought that the spelling should have been bubeleh and so he reported you. __________ Bubeleh literally, "little bubi, or grandmother", but is used as an endearment for anyone, any age, any gender. In some places, like Hollywood I hear, if someone calls you bubeleh you can bet you're not about to get the part. cyberyenta.com. __________ Worst part was probably that the SI Führer must have been a puritan and he thought you were taking about boobs [...and I know that there are some of the Yidish speakers who ain't no little ones when it comes to "boobies" -gg-] --No wonder Esperanto was doomed to be a failure-- Look at this other example: _____ The Funny Tale Of The Rabbi's Hat On a windy day in New York City a Hassidic rabbi's fur hat flew off and was rescued by a man who returned it to the rabbi. The rabbi said, "Thank you, are you Jewish?" "No," said the man. "Well," said the rabbi, "I can't bless you, but I see an afternoon of great wealth for you." The man thinks, "What can it be? I know--I can make the last four races at the horse track." He goes and looks at the program and sees a horse named Top Hat in the next race. "An omen," he thinks, and bets $100 and wins. The next race has a horse named Stetson--again he bets it all and wins. The next race features a horse named Beret, and he naturally wins again. He bets it all on the next race and loses everything. He goes home and tells his wife the story. "What horse did you bet on in the last race?" she asks. He says, "Chateau--French for hat." "Idiot," she says, "Chapeau is French for hat--by the way, who won the race?' . . . . . . . . . . "I don't know," he says, "some Japanese horse called Yomika!" -lol
