I agree with OP. its not yiddish and not ‘ausgehalten’.
All of you ‘pros’..I dont think you would want your son perhaps to be chosen as the driveresses pet or any other name you want to give it..’Lifnei eever lo sitein michshol’.

Imaginations and ‘yetzer hara’ are all at work and they know there job all too well!
