Part 13: Glossary of Terms

Our stay in Jerusalem was led by Dr. Carl Rasmussen. Carl has his own "terms" which not all people would be familiar with.  So if you head to Jerusalem or ever talk with Carl here are some of his Carlisms and their meanings:

(1)Bye-bye-buddy check:  look around and make sure no one is missing cause we're taking off.

(2)Culture on the right/left: look in the appropriate direction and you will see wildlife or people.

(3) hanky-panky: usually implying some sort of shinanagins.

(4)Hello-hello-hello: stop what you're doing and pay attention.

(5)Push the pause button: you should push the button above you and pause your conversation.

(6) People-im: this usually refers to the whole team/group.

(7) Schlep: V. to carry or pull or haul items (usually lunch)  Schlepers: N. the people doing the schlepping. 

(8) Sippy-poo: coffee.

(9) No Slouch: this refers to archaeologists and scholars who know what they're talking about.

(10)Snacky-poo: that favorite time of the day between 3pm-4:47pm where we get to have a snack.

(11) Sports Fans: this usually refers to the team when we are tired.

Anyway, just a little taste of the language we've had to get used to here in the land of Israel.  Shalom
