LOTM

Acronym for “Life of the mother”.
Person One: “Okay, dude; most reasonable people are going to agree that abortion can be considered in LOTM cases.”

Person Two: “ But there are some people who think that mothers who would abort their own children to save their own lives are selfish, and a woman in a LOTM case due to—e.g.— uterine cancer is selfish and not trusting that God can overcome the cancer and may even have set her time on this Earth to end in the first place. Let’s also say that – and I know what you’re thinking —”

Person One: “First of all, the mother has to choose whether or not she wants to risk maternal mortality, not to mention risk infant mortality, in the first place. Second of all, she might have other kids whom might need her around—for example, a child with intellectual disabilities. Third of all, she might actually live and end up with postpartum complications—including birthing-affected infertility—and the baby might die, which would add insult to injury. Then what? Besides, just because God can overcome everything doesn’t mean that He always does. ‘God’s will’ is not synonymous with ‘any way you want it’—in other words, the King of Kings is not the ‘Burger King’ shill. Besides, most fast food probably isn’t kosher….debate over. I’m getting hangry.”

Person Two: “I guess that we’re not going to Burger King either way, though.”

Košice

In unofficial competition with Bratslavia to be the capital city of Slovakia (as Baltimore competes with Washington, D.C.), Košice is a major-enough city to get some notice even outside of Slovakia. Like Suwałki in Poland Russia, Košice was the capital city of its own district in Austria Hungary.
Families in the Košice Jewish community included the Yoshua Rusnak Family, whose patriarch helped lead the Zionist Conference there in 1913. Sadly, the family lost many members during the Holocaust when the Nazis invaded then-Kassa, Hungary.

Cohen

The head caste in Ancient and future Israel, the koheinim (priests) are Levi'im (Levites) who are descended from Aharon ben-Amram-v'Yokheved HaLevi.
"Cohen" is a variant of "Kohein". In turn, "Cohen" has variants such as "Katz" ("Kohan Tzedek", as in Phoebe Katz (Cates) Klein), "Kagan" or "Kajan" (variants of "Kahan" or "Kahane"; as in Associate SCOTUS Justice Elena Kagan), "Kohn" and "Kahn" (as in John Kohn (changed to Kerry by his granddad, Fritz Kohn)), and "Cohan" (a variant of "Kohein" not to be confused with the variant for the Irish "Keohane", though that may have some, if any, origins among koheinim based in Ireland).

Badass Jew

If you still don't get what "Badass Jew" means, though, think about The Bear Jew or real-life badass Jews such as Doctor Ruth (a Holocaust survivor and a Haganah member).
