Lenny Bruce on Goyish

I nearly used the word goyish in my last post, but some find it derogatory. So let me harken back to Lenny Bruce who explained well.

Now I neologize Jewish and goyish.

Dig: I'm Jewish. Count Basie's Jewish. Ray Charles is Jewish. Eddie Cantor's goyish.

B'nai Brith is goyish; Hadassah, Jewish. Marine corps--heavy goyim, dangerous.

Kool-Aid is goyish. All Drake's cakes are goyish. Pumpernickel is Jewish, and, as you know, white bread is very goyish. Instant potatoes--goyish. Black cherry soda's very Jewish. Macaroons are very Jewish--very Jewish cake. Fruit salad is Jewish. Lime jello is goyish. Lime soda is very goyish.

Trailer parks are so goyish that Jews won't go near them. Jack Paar Show is very goyish.

Underwear is definitely goyish. Balls are goyish. Titties are Jewish. Mouths are Jewish.

All Italians are Jewish. Greeks are goyish--bad sauce.

Eugene O'Neil--Jewish; Dylan Thomas, Jewish. Steve is goyish, though. It's the hair. He combs his hair in the boys' room with that soap all the time.

Louis. That's my name in Jewish. Louis Schneider.

Is this a game? I want to play:

Lee Press on nails, biscuits from a can, cheez-wiz, those wooden, bent-over women with polka-dot dresses in people's front yards: all goyish.

Pedicures, cheese you have to slice yourself, bird feeders, dangly jewelry: Jewish.

How'd I do? I took a chance on a couple...

Hey, wait just a minute...

I should be feeling insulted right now, right?
