An extreme understatement, as in:
'Oh, it wasn't so horrible!' to mean 'That was fabulous!'
I've seen worse.
why arent you eating? You don't look so well, come on bubbele.
What an ugly little kid!
P phew.
(spitting sound)
Jew*phe*mism: a.k.a. "a Yiddische kop".
eg. "Bubbeleh, you want me to make you matza ball soup...? Okay, I'll make you matza ball soup...BUT YOU HAVE TO SHOP FOR ALL THE INGREDIENTS...and buy me a diet soda while you're out!"
Mom: You want some Milk, Markileh?
Me: Yes.
Mom: It's in the fridge.
A Jewphemism is using halakhic legal terminology when referring to objects and actions in the area of sexuality/reproduction.
i.e.
bi’a
zera‘
nida
etc.
...It's someone who likes like a Jew, walks like a Jew and sounds like YOUR MOTHER.
("Hey, get off that blog already! What if someone wants to reach me on my e-mail account? You've been on that computer for hours. Give your mother a chance.")
Jewphemistically speaking about most of the chagim, we could say the following:
They tried to kill us.
They lost.
We won.
Let's eat.
A jewish victory is not being killed. Yay!
Jewphlegmism is disgusting
