[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, I just knew after my marriage to Trey didn’t work out that I really wanted to marry into a more stable tradition and have some kids!   I didn’t ever mean to fall for my schvitzing divorce lawyer, but B-H for Harry!
Mazel tov and welcome to the tribe!![/quote]

[b]Umm.. what?[/quote][/b]

it's a riff off of Sex and the City.  The [b]shiksa brunette wants to convert[/b] to judaism to nab Trey.[/quote]
 the term shiksa is offensive 
I am surprised 
Is it really a thing to call converts that?[/quote]

No. "Shiksa" means gentile (non-Jewish) woman/girl, as it was used in PP. [/quote]
The literal definition of the term and the way it's commonly used (in this case, derogatorily) are two very different things. Given the common usage of this particular term as a slur for non-Jewish women married to Jewish men (or sometimes referring to female converts as a way to call their motives into question and other us), let's just all put that in the list of words we don't use anymore and move on.[/quote]
