Reader comment on item: Westerners Welcome Harems
in response to reader comment: "Dikduk"? OH, my gosh, you are FUNNY, Orange Yonason

Submitted by orange yonason (United States), Dec 22, 2008 at 19:20

B"H

I had no idea the word "Dikduk," which is Hebrew for "Grammar," was used any differently in Yiddish. No double meaning was intended.
