A Bukharian Jewish expression used to refer to a person who plays reverse psychology or engages in psychological warfare.
Origins come from a famous Bukharian
peasant called Zalmoni Sish Lela (Zalmon the six fingered
one). He would
con his fellow countrymen with riddles and deceitful games. The actual term 'Zalmon Bozi' means 'Zalmon Games'.
Hey James, are you having your cousin
Charles who engages in Zalmon-bozi to come to the poker game tonight? Because if so, you can count me out.
