"He's a jew."
"He's jewish" is much nicer.

After all, there are no Jewish dogs, cats, chickens and millipedes. Only Jewish people. Or 'Jews' as they're known.

which is obviously much better.
So my son will be Jew-ish, but he won't be a Jew.

Think of all the times you call someone 'old chap', when you mean, 'c**t'.

Or one of those companies people hire to come up with meaningless names for companies like Consignia?
'Filotons - God's Chosen People Since 2,000 BCE'
Something like that?

Christianity is normal. It is God's default position. We therefore do not need to mention it.

It would be wrong of me to attend the match given my sentiments about the competition. I would rather someone takes my seat for whom it would mean more.
And anyway, I've not seen us lift a trophy for 9 fúcking years. I'm bolloxed if the little **** is seeing one after 3 weeks.

So for instance, if someone said 'what do you know about this Monty chap', I might say (amongst other things) that 'he's a Jew' or 'he's Jewish'. I'm not going to say 'he's a Jewish person' or 'a person of Jew' as I'll sound mental. Any pejorative connotation exists in your mind rather than mine.

given my regular denouncements of my religion and of religion as a whole.
Surely, "he wishes cancer on people who say even the most innocuous things and has apparently got a very big nose" would come to mind quicker?

whether you enjoy and fulfilling sexual relationship. I might as, "B, tell me, do you and Mrs B regularly indulge in the mutually respectful and joyous physical aspects of married life?"
I would not ask, "Has she got a tight ****?"
Because that would be blunt, vulgar and rude.
Do you see? Jew = tight ****.

asked me if I was greek the other day.
"You have a greek nose", he said.
"This, sir, is a jewish nose" I replied.
Then I realised I was alone in a house with a muslamic with a terrorist beard who had just discovered I was jewish. I made a swift departure.

Althought they got away with it by making him scotch instead.
Probably down to Walt Disney being a massive Anti-Semite. He was probably originally called Chaim Duckscovsky or something.
