” a yiddishe goyta. “
That brings to mind one of the funniest quips (true or otherwise) that I heard a while back.
A bocher was trying to explain to the shadchan what he was looking for in a spouse. As you can imagine, his checklist contained things that could not possibly co-exist in a human being.
When he finally came up for air, the shadchan says, “so, what I’m hearing is, you’re looking for a shiksa, who’s machshiv toirah”
Too funny!
