Search: zaftig origin
Why: Kat is trying to think of a way to describe the fat teller who conducted her transaction and apparently lost the checks she deposited.
Answer: Well it's Yiddish, doy, but Yiddish is a mixture of other languages. In this case, the word zaftik, Yiddish for "juicy," comes from the High German word saft, "juice."
If you are ever in Brookline, Mass., maybe going to see the birthplace of President John F. Kennedy, go eat at Zaftigs Jewish deli in Coolidge Corner.

That's a really lovely picture of Katrina you posted.
ReplyDeleteNothing says "Happy Birthday" like a creepy, ass-backwards cat
ReplyDeletePS, this story has a happy ending. They credited me back the money and reversed all 3 over draft charges. So hurrah! But still, how do two checks just get deposited into someone else's account?

sorry that hurricane hijacked your name
ReplyDeleteThanks for the sympathies. It's been really hard for me (what with all the bad jokes and all), but I figure the suffering has made me a stronger person. I will prevail!
