WIY –
Let me tackle yours first. Yes, I know, there are vast differences between Satmar and Bobov. But when measured against someone like myself (yeshivish) both Satmar and Bobov are chassidish.
Blinky – It translates to “2 times covered” which means (depending on who you ask) a shaitel and a hat, or a hat with the cloth underlay, or a shaitel with a triangular band over the shaitel.
For the record, there is a 5th level, but thats almost non-existant. Its called a “shtern-tichel” (lit: a fore-head tichel)
which looks like a brown helmet, with a pearl/ beaded crown in front.
Guess your not from BP or Willy, are you Blink? Either that, or your circle of friends is really focused. But now that you know what to look for, you’ll probably realize you’ve seen them all before.
