I just killed my parents but have mercy cuz I am an orphan! lol.
I was always told that chutzpah means, literally, balls/testicles. But perhaps it is figurative only.
I remember reading this word around same time as audacity. Kind of blind-boldness or bold and stupid and not exactly brave.
Such a great word. It embodies so much in a simple word.
this is a word I've heard of! Yay! :D
I have heard this one a couple of times from my jewish grandma. Made me laugh, just like every other yiddish word she uses.
Useful street-wise Yiddish alternative to effrontery indeed.
I've always liked this word. I've heard it used in countless tv shows and films over the years.
Oh, so THAT's how it's pronounced! Thank you robo-lady!I've read that quote before. Don't remember where, but the story about the guy and the judge and the parents sounds very familiar.
I'm feeling offended for this. Naaah just kidding, let's get together and have a hava nagila sing along.
I know this word and it makes me smile. I wish my students had a little less of this though.
one of my favorite words. I pronounce it with extra chutzpah
Hmmm this one's rather pedestrian..
Michelle Bachmann can't pronounce this word XD
Now there's a word I like to use!
I've used this word to describe people's behavior... I knew what it meant, and I don't know how. Probably from context. That's how I learn most of the words I know.
is this similar to the word GUTS? ^_^
Reading over posts to check for typos is just too arduous for me; thank you, once again.
I love the word chutzpah. Now why couldn't you have used that word in the paragraph challenge? ;) I am working on it though... You've been warned.
