When Kitty Pryde returns, should she speak more Yiddish?

[Talisman]

When she comes back, and all you haters knows it will happen sooner or later, would it be too much to ask the writers to start giving her some Yiddish to speak? Not too much, to where she sounds like my granmama when she reminisces about us as we spin our dreidel an Hanukkah, and talks about our tuckus's getting bigger every day. I'm talking about using just some Jewish slang. OH! And get rid of the straightened hair. We need some kink in it. We need a return of the Jewfro, Kitty. After being in exile in space, we know you're going to need some relaxer, so I expect to see some bounce in that coif.

When Kitty comes back, she should team up with Nekra. They'd be an unstoppable team.

I don't know. Would Nekra stand for Kitty dropping the N-bomb?

[darknessatnoon]

Nekra's name is slang for the N-bomb.

[Robbiebob_16]

Yes. I fully support this. I think if Kitty starts speaking Yiddish my mother and bubbe will start reading comics, and Marvel will get a new generation of readers!
Now, if only we could get her to play mah-johng and party in Boca....

LOL! I guess I failed my ebonics quiz!

[AcesX1X]

nekra also gets powered up by nasty attitudes. kitty would be the perfect power source.

Not really sure how things are for Chi-town/Deerfield Jews, but every Jew I've been around rarely uses Yiddish. You might hear a "bubkis" every once in a great while, but not much.

I definitely rarely hear any of this in actual casual conversation (in Boston), except for a couple friends who make it a point to be self-deprecating and play that card.

[Come To Deathstrike]

"Oy, what a schmeckel."

[Robbiebob_16]

My Bubbe and zayde are fluent! I live in a Jewish community in CT, and let me tell you, a basic understanding of Yiddish is important.

It's because those are all self-hating Jews.

Ditto.

That's how it was going to my grandmama's house, and as my aunt's and uncle's get older, they start using Yiddish more and more frequently.

[Crowforge]

I've had plenty of Jewish friends, they talk like everyone else. English is their first language after all, and most didn't even know another.

[Quinnhop]

Yes, please.

We need a little less WASP in our X-Mix.

Bring back Jewish Kitty Pryde!!

[FeminineMystique]

Given that she's never spoken much before, having her suddenly speak like a bad Jewish stereotype might seem a little odd. Best to leave the random exclamations of stereotypical ethnic phrases to Collossus and Nightcrawler

[Crowforge]

Did anyone see that balloon hitler episode of ATHF?

Never. And I am insulted by your implication.

So, what happened to stop her being with Colossus?
Did slut go out of style or something?

How dare you! Connecticut has contributed more to this country than Illinois ever will.

Yes, submarines.

Truly my pride has been injured most fiercely. I must assuage my wounds with two pounds of pizza served on a tray of ribs wrapped in a itallian beef dipped and fried.

Cheap shot I know... But, sometimes you just have to laugh:biggrin:

[Joe Acro]

I don't think she should spout Jewish phrases. (There's no history for it.)

But she should have the curlier hair again. It suits her better.

[mikeb]

Maybe she should date Ben Grimm!:biggrin:

[Novaya Havoc]

You had me at "should she spank your tuckus."

I think what we need more is of Kitty's parents. I want them calling the Institute daily, and demanding Emma Frost tell them exactly how every dollar of Kitty's exorbitant tuition bill is being spent.

For the win.
