The funny thing is that "Chag Sameach", the traditional Hebrew greeting for all holy days, literally translates as "Happy Holidays".

Is it offensive if I use that? I really like the sound.

Not at all. However, keep in mind that "ch" in Hebrew is a very different sound, almost like a deep-throated gurgle. If you say "Hag Sameah", you'll be OK. Prouncing the "ch" as in English may offend someone, and certainly constitutes butchery of the Hebrew language.

Is the "ch" like the "ch" in "loch"?

Christmas is becoming more sexular though, which I like.

A sexular Christmas is the best Christmas :D

No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Another holiday question;

Why is it when Israel shoots missiles at another country, it's called Self Defense, but when someone wishes you Happy Hanukkah, it's a WAR on Christmas?
Whenever I hear a politician speaking strongly for or against abortion, all I hear is, "I have no idea how to fix the economy!"

From facebook, where all dumb ideas go to pick up other other dumb ideas and breed.



it's not just that I disagree with this

I really am confused what the hell they tryngn to say?

That Obama is a marxist and so now are christie and coulter?

that politicians working together to solve a problem is the same as drinking cyanide?

that Obama looks weird in sunglasses?

that the right really has no sense of irony?

What?

This was in the worst political cartoons thread very recently.

It is a reference to Jonestown.  It is saying that Obama's following is a cult, and that Chris Christie joined the cult drank the Kool-Aid because he complimented the administration's response to Hurricane Sandy.

I have no idea why Ann Coulter is there.

Be ye not fooled. This is for both the best worst political cartoons around!

I guess that's a badge of honor?
