democrats

One of the two major political parties in the United States, the Democrats evolved from the more primitive Democratic-Republican party in the 1800's. party platform tends to be more liberal than Republican policy. usually pro-environment, pro-choice, and pro-rights. Also generally caters to the middle- and lower classes, instead of the wealthy.

guys, if you're gonna put up a definition, define. If you wanna bitch about how "evil" people who don't agree with you must be, rant about it in your next KKK meeting, okay?

Judaism

the first monotheistic religion, basis of two of today's other major religions (Christianity and Islam). The Jewish holy book is the Torah, which is the basis for the Christian Old Testament. Judaism, except in its orthodox form, is probably the most accepting and loosest of the major religions of the Western Hemisphere. Sadly, its followers have been persecuted and ridiculed throughout the ages, and have always been misunderstood by the ignorant.

yes, I am a Jew. and to those of you who have said we are going to hell, remember that there is only one true judge of that, so don't be so arrogant as to put yourself in that position.

Nostradamus

A guy whose prophecies pertaining to the end of the world have been interpreted, proven wrong, and reinterpreted so many times that its surprising they haven't given up on him yet

The world will end in 1750...no wait, 1819....or maybe 2000....2023?

paskudnyak

Yiddish insult. THE most potent and offensive insult known to man. it has so much connotation that cannot be truly defined that the closest you can come to its meaning is "horrible person". no other definition has the meaning, and there is no way to convey how powerful that word is. Use with caution.

Hitler was a prime example of a paskudnyak. You'd be hard pressed to come up with others.

jewdar

a nonexistent ability that people claim to have. such people believe they can "sense" a Jew. obviously this is impossible unless the Jew has the distinctive hairstyle of the Orthodox sect or is wearing a yarmulke, since Jews aren't another race and look just like everyone else.

some guy: according to my jewdar, you're Jewish.
me: yeah, and the fact that I'm wearing a star of david had nothing to do with it. shmuck.
