To LilmodUlilamaid: I know that unsolicited callers are “just doing their job,” but their job is to invade my home, and I don’t like it. And if they receive a commission for getting me to buy/donate, they are conducting business, and I am on the “do not call” list, so they have absolutely no right to call me.
And speaking of “Chinese” auctions, I have no idea where the term comes from, but I suspect it has an anti-Chinese twist to it. And speaking of twists, has anyone ever heard a gentile use the term “Jew curl,” referring to hair that is curly or slightly unruly? It did not sound like a compliment to me, and if the objectionable hair is on a gentile’s head, how can it be a “Jew curl”?
