Shuber

The code word Orthodox Jews use to disguise their forbidden use of Uber or other ride-sharing apps on the Sabbath. (It is generally forbidden to use any method of transportation/commute on the Sabbath other than walking)

One can break it down into two parts: "Sh..." a sound often used in synagogues to silence the congregants during the rabbi's sermon, or to signal to someone to keep a secret.

Uber =a popular ride-sharing app that *hopefully* gets a person from point A to point B.
Shlomo used Shuber to travel from Queens to Manhattan so he can visit his uncle on Saturday.

Chaya: how did Shlomo get here on shabbes? Doesn't he live in Queens?
