Minyan Gal: Like one of the posters said “A Kasha Of a Maise”. But there is a neighborhood in a South American country called “Goyes”. Ironically, it’s an old Jewish neighborhood. The original name is Blandengues. Apparently, the first Jewish immigrants couldn’t pronounce that long and strange “Goyish” name so they named it “Goyes”.
