This burning question has been troubling me for a long time (so now you know…)
Anyone???
July 21, 2014 10:39 pm at 10:39 pm #1024141👑RebYidd23ParticipantThey didn’t want to name it the Alligator because it isn’t one.
July 21, 2014 10:47 pm at 10:47 pm #1024142Sam2Participant(Assumption) They didn’t want to call it a chat room because that had a bad connotation in the early internet age and that bad connotation seemed to have persisted in the Frum community. (Even though chat rooms really ceased to exist by the time the CR was founded; this would more properly be described as a message board; which pretty much entirely replaced chat rooms by the early 2000s precisely because of the reasons that chat rooms had bad reputations.)

…is as good a guess as any.

from all entries, they voted for coffee room
the other options were:
– back bench (in shul)
– the mik (mikvah)
– the poolish
– yentehsite
and
– around the bimah

I’m thinking along those lines too. It’s zayde was Offee, this one’s only LIKE Offee so it’s C’offee.

July 22, 2014 10:37 pm at 10:37 pm #1024152👑RebYidd23ParticipantNo, nobody drinks and talks at the same time.
