Subject: RE: BS: Ridiculous terms of abuse
A sample from northeast US ethnic taunts, as in "you....."

Schmuck, schlemiel, for the Jewish guys
Garvone for the Italians
Kayoodle for the Eastern Europeans (I think)

And my Irish grandmothers favorite "Were you ahint the door when the Lord gave out brains?"

How did you taunt the other ethnics in your old hood?
