Can you believe that kike was trying to pass that Rollex clone off as the real thing? He was even asking $1,000 for it. It is a good thing that my jewdar was working.

Get the jewdarmug. An ability to find the best bargains anywhere in the shopping vicinity. Based on the stereotypical, yet often held true by Jews, belief that Jews are cheap.
