I do this all the time when I cross my legs. Sometimes I just do it unconsciously, other times I do it to help my foot from falling asleep. I also fidget like that when I’m either nervous, excited, or had too much coffee. I do know that some women will dangle their shoe off their toe with their legs crossed, and I always saw that as a sexual thing.

I saw a documentary on TV once about Ellis Island. It said that there were many short-hand abbreviations used on immigrants’ papers in order to keep track efficiently. To identify religion, catholics had a cross written at the top corner of their documents, while Jews had a circle. In Yiddish, the language spoken by most immigrant Jews at the time, the word for circle is ‘kikel.’ The term eventually evolved to kike, as a short-hand way of denoting a Jew’s documents, and then later as a derogatory epithet. In addition, the documentary explained the slur for an Italian person, Wop. Apparently, a boatload of Italian immigrants arrived, but none had any documentation. Entrance documents were issued to them, with the notation at the top of WOP, or without papers. Hence, they were referred to as Wops. As to why these terms are offensive, I feel it is simply because of the way that they are used. Firstly, they are never used in anything but a negative context (you never hear ‘oh my friend Esther, she’s such a nice kike’). Secondly,when you use a racial epithet, no matter its origins, it places the person apart from yourself, making them inferior to you. I would be equally offended if someone yelled out ‘Hey Jew’ as I would ‘Hey, kike.’ I hope that helps…

I always refer it as Jewish Food. ‘Hebrew’ is typically only used to describe the language spoken in Israel. If food is specifically from Israel, it is referred to as ‘Israeli food.’ However, no matter what you call it, its yummy.
