The jargon in the closed group of autistic parents, no tricks and no sticks and everything about the "Os" • The linguistic arena explores

The most quoted phrase this week was "no tricks and no sticks," and it was not said this week. The quotes returned to Benjamin Netanyahu's appearance with Dana Weiss in March 2020, when he engaged in soliciting Bnei Gantz to join the Unity Government. Asked if he would vacate his seat under the agreement, he answered emphatically: "Unequivocally, without tricks and without sticks."

Netanyahu did not use this phrase for the first time. The phrase was repeated in the days before the disengagement. At the beginning of 2005, Israel Katz proposed voting in the Knesset on a referendum for and against the disengagement. The proposal was based on the assumption that the referendum, if held, would postpone the disengagement and certainly take the sting out of it, and as Yossi Werter wrote in Israel at the time, "Netanyahu and his men went out of their way yesterday to convince that there is no conspiracy behind the proposal." "Netanyahu's associates quoted that entertainer on television as" trying to sell a cheap dial-up abroad. " In February 2005, Amnon Abramovich referred to this on Channel 2: "After all the spins, sticks and tricks."

"That entertainer from television" was Haim Hecht, and in 2004 he coined the catchy and rhyming slogan in an advertisement for Channel 015, which offered a discounted call abroad. The slogan spread like wildfire. It serves as a winning slogan for the ultra-Orthodox shopping chain Osher Ad, in video commercials for The fashion brand O&H, and many more. The ultra-Orthodox fell in love with the slogan, perhaps also thanks to the Yiddish element, and so it is found in G's ballot papers for the presidency of one of the cities, and in the title of the rabbi's questions: "Kosher phone - no tricks and no sticks.

" Trick is an English word Originally French, from a root meaning to deceive or deceive. Most of its uses are negative, but over time it has also taken on the positive meaning of a sophisticated move. 'Stick' means in Yiddish a piece or chunk (a stick herring), as well as a play or show, hence not nice expressions like 'A Shtik Derek' (a piece of shit), and 'Poyleshtik': a rotten piece, which in Yiddish and Israeli slang means a non-kosher move. And for that they sing in the neighborhood of Haim Hefer: It seems that 'stick' in the sense of a manipulative act, a fraudulent exercise, was derived backwards from 'polestick'.

Even his father does not understand social situations

In addition to her many other skills, Dr. Tamar Eilam Gindin, a Persian language researcher and a cool woman in her own right, is the mother of an autistic child. She is a member of a special, almost secret forum in which parents of autistic children take part and is exceptionally self-humorous. , autism (in) funny. speak to Tamar:

"Congratulations to you is born autistic. After you finished crying, after you made sure to leave the rays at home, after you heard that he did not look like that at all ... it was time to learn to laugh about it, because what do we have left? So pack yourself, autism and the allowance, and let's learn how a lemon stays a lemon, just with a smile. "

This is how the" about "of the Otiza group (s) opens, a group of horticulturists (autistic parents) run by Rama Ravik Navifor and Ortal Garcia Netanya.Together we laugh about our lives alongside the disabilities, and discover that we are not alone, and other parents face similar challenges.

Diagnosing a child on the autistic continuum is usually a shock that takes you through all five stages of coping: from denial ("he is not autistic, his father does not understand social situations either", "he is not autistic, even his father talks about only one topic all the time "," He's not autistic, so is his dad… Oh. "), Through anger (sssssssssssssssm, my parents also lost an annuity), bargaining (and if we kiss him bleach, bat blood and whoever Nissan gutters maybe he will be cured?), Abel, and so on Acceptance. Admission makes it much easier to receive benefits from the various benefits that parents receive from the authorities, but the eligibility to join this disturbed group is worth more than the allowance and the tax credit points combined.  

Not all horticulturists connect to the humor of a funny autism (s). Hugging groups - groups of autistic parents who share difficulties and tears - are sometimes shocked by our humor (we are not laughing at the children! We are laughing at our lives!). Sheldon - as the group's admirers are called, their fingers will be blessed, after the autistic character from "The Big Bang" - scolds anyone who dares to write something serious, that "this is not a hug group".

Like any closed community that has a very specific common interest, a jargon has also developed in the Otiza group (s), part of which is presented here.

A first category in jargon is the nicknames we parents give to our autistic children.

asparagus. Following 'Asperger'.

ISIS. In the name of the organization that makes life bitter for the world.

Pididon. Following PDD, one of the autistic spectrum syndromes.

Rhythmic. The source of the generous allowances.

Tablet. Abbreviations: Function of prominence

. Abbreviations: High functioning in the eyes of his mother.

TB. Abbreviations: High function in my ass.

Group members have a phrasebook designed to talk about children with non-horticultural people.

We left the tail / horns at home. Answer to a common response when it was learned that the child was autistic: "not seen on him", which has already become a code name for sharing videos and materials of people who have not necessarily been diagnosed.

A campaign to promote the status of autistics has instilled in everyone the saying "autism is not a curse" , but still, God forbid to call our children autistic, "as if this is their whole essence". Instead it can be said:

a special child.

With autism.

not Standart.

Challenged relationship.

. Abbreviations:

Alek NT , with the brothers behaving like toasts themselves .

All the guys who fell out of the patrol

Anyone looking for channels for understanding the soldiers' lives and language, especially in the combat brigades, should become acquainted with a somewhat strange term: 'os', and in many os. The issue came up, among other things, in a Yekhativi meeting, Hickim TV, about the books "Talking Tzahalit," in a conversation with the military correspondent of the channel here, Roi Sharon.

What are aces? Avishai Simon, who has just finished his military service, explains: "The 'houses' are a form of singing that is customary in a dining room after Friday meals. The' house 'consists of three lines. In the first line the owner of the house shouts a' song 'he composed. For example:' Commander Itzik Dear. ”The crowd responds with a shout: 'Ace!' It is followed by the second sentence, which is a little longer, in which the owner of the house praises the same commander Itzik, followed by the punch sentence, longer and rhyming with the second sentence, and in which comes a twist that makes the praise derogatory.

Ace that came to mind:

Dear Paratroopers - Ace!

You're probably proud to be part of a glorious heritage - Oss!

Of all the guys who fell out of the cruiser - what a mess what a mess.

Houses are also used in rituals called 'shouting'. The field units have a complete set of rules around expressions of military seniority. Only members of the last cycle, who are due to be released at the end of the next four months, are allowed to say 'until when', and members of the penultimate cycle are allowed to say 'how much more'. When a cycle in the battalion changes, a ceremony is called "shouting exchange" in which the members of the last class give the younger class the right to shout 'until', and they give the younger class the right to shout 'some more'. In these ceremonies it is customary to do this in the following structure:

We have a tired RSP in the company - Oss! Called

my uncle - Oss! 

All day long he goes, shouting 'Until when!'

• The Linguistic Arena: The Corona Dictionary

• The Linguistic Arena: The New Enemies of Mankind


'Us' is by all accounts an incarnation of a reading that originated in Eastern culture: 'The Buzz', familiar from the song about the old Messiah from the movie 'Salah Shabtai'. The houses get to become online videos. The Instagram page of Cruiser 1 recently held a contest among hundreds of Oss videos that came to the page. The webmaster explained Osim, showed some videos and announced the winning video. The winner is Michelle from the Givati ​​Brigade, who is considered a leading Osim artist.

Dear Golani - Oss!

Stand in the Beast for a moment!

Because you are DFs, let's start with the alphabet! - What a mess What a mess!
