[Vittrad]

I’ve known for quite a while the meaning of babushka (having spent time in Russia), and I find the misconception a weird one that a simple dictionary could clear up. Then again, many languages take words from other languages and make up new meanings for them, or simply make up words that sound like words in other languages and attribute random meanings to them. While I can’t immediately think of an example in English … one example is the made-up German word “handy,” which refers to a cell phone.

Seamus — I hope you are joking. Certainly the immigrant farmers and factory workers who were my forefathers (and mothers) would love to hear about this ‘bred laziness’. Crass racial generalizations do not answer this question and serve no purpose other than to further divide rather than to unite.
