Not Sure the Outrage is Appropriate Here (1 Viewer)

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Saw this post on Facebook today:

"I can't believe they spell her name wrong on her diploma! <angry face>"

First Response: "Oh no! How can they not check that!! Are they going to issue a new one??"

Original Poster responded: "Yes, they apologized and said they would."

Another Responder: "That's awful!!! There is no excuse for that!!! Congratulations to Jaylyn on her graduation!"

So, your kid's got a weird name and they apologized and offered to correct their mistake. It's just the diploma, it's not as though she didn't graduate. Calm down, you broads.

They've been in the school long enough to graduate, they should have someone he k the names. That being said, it's not a huge deal.

"I can't believe they spell her name wrong on her diploma! <angry face>"

I can't believe she doesn't know the difference between past and present tense!

I can't wait to pay for Jaylyn's $41 ice cream cake.

I am outraged over their misplaced outrage!

If I've learned anything from a life of stamp collecting, it's that stuff with mistakes on it is way more valuable. Can probably just flip this on ebay and skip college altogether.

Watching these Yentas pile on the school district for every mistake they make is one of my FB pet-peeves. This winter was the worst. They #####ed and moaned and 2nd guessed every delay / cancellation decision they made.

Yentas? I've never heard that word before.

yenta |ˈyentə| noun

a woman who is a gossip or busybody.

ORIGIN 1920s: Yiddish, originally a given name.

Is that the right definition? Is it especially derogatory? How common is it?

[Joe Bryant]

And yes. Odd spellings for names should come with an accepted level of having the name misspelled. The more odd, the higher the acceptance. Still not right. But not a giant deal.

True, it's a Billy Ripken moment.

really? Yes and we use it . But it's usually guys standing around talking and the You Yentas going to do any work...or a very nosy person

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

I believe that this is the first time that JB has ever replied to a thread that I started. I don't know where my high school diploma is, but this is getting printed down and framed on my wall!

It is (was?, dont listen anymore) a common Howard Stern word. He called most of the annoying women they discussed on the show either "Yentas" or "broads".

Yes but I thought it was mainstream. my father always complained about the Yentas in town complaining about this or that.

I grew up in the South and didn't know anyone Jewish until I was 19. Having said that...I still don't see how this is the first time JB has heard that word. It's pretty common.

I had 1 Jewish kid in my school

The word is mainstream in the Northeast for sure. It's not used at all in the South ... I don't think local Jewish folks use it, as Yiddish never really seemed to make it down here.

...

Joe, for what it's worth ... if you're thinking "yenta" might be a Yiddish profanity and wondering whether or not the language filter here ought to be catching it ... no need to worry. "Yenta" has been said on network television a good bit (most notably on the 1990s CBS series The Nanny), and it's clearly a reference to a gossipy busybody, a "Nosy Rosie" type. "Yenta" is not an invective.

I've heard Yentas quite a bit.. on the derogatory spectrum it's quite mild.

I'd say you could put it on par with calling a woman a nag.

right... it's usually used in an "insult" but it's not an n word type term...imo

And then on top of that, Joe likes my comment.

I'm telling you guys, as far as the greatest days of my life go: if my kids being born is #1 amd my wedding day is #2, then today is, like, 1a.

7 layer cakes can be bought with food stamps but 3 ring binders I don't think so.
