Re: Help please with some American slang (warning - is possibly offensive)


There's an episode of The Simpsons called Lisa's Substitute that uses that phrase (sorta).

Here's a synopsis of a scene where Mr. Bergstrom, the substitute teacher, comes into Lisa's classroom dressed as a cowboy:
Quote:
Mr. Bergstrom takes over and asks the class to find three things wrong
with his costume. Lisa raises her hand and lists them. Her third point
was that Mr. Bergstrom appears Jewish, but there were no Jewish cowboys.
Mr. Bergstrom rewards her with his hat, though he intended the third
point to be that he is wearing a digital watch.

"And, for the record, there were a few Jewish cowboys, ladies and gentlemen.
Big guys who were great shots and spent money freely."
-- Mr. Bergstrom's lesson on the American West, ``Lisa's Substitute''
