"holy terrors"

I am so using that the next time I see one of these crazy 75 year old kickboxing, ass stomping old ladies.

Wait a minute!! You are a "boger Young Judaea" and don't know how to make a tent???- We in Habonim learn that as "Amelim" ( 8-10 year olds)- especially out of blankets....I still remember it even though I am an old fart"....Go back to the tnuah kids and they'll teach you- The you can call yourself a "gever gever"!!!-Momma Sue

While that would have been a lot funnier, I was raised to respect my elders...

Which leads to the question of why little old ladies are the worst of the line-cutters. Even the geveriest gever moves out of the way of these 4'8" holy terrors who walk around with a sense of entitlement to line-cutting. And often this is paired with a voice that carries across mountains and shatters glass when it gets there.

That is unbelievable. Are you referring to the Israeli sweeping arm gestures where arms are extended up in air, palms flattened, then moving in a swift motion towards the nether regions? That's what I would have done.

True story: Once I was waiting for a sherut in Tel Aviv with a heavy backpack on. There was a little old lady next to me, as well as a bunch of other people. So the sherut comes and she doesn't make a move, so I start to waddle my way to the door (heavy backpack, remember?). She grabbed my pack, ripping me out of line (line meaning crowd next to the door of the sherut) and nearly knocking me to the ground. The Russian security guard (young and good-lloking if I remember correctly)who was also waiting at the stop came over to see if I was okay.
Best part of the story: She didn't get on that sherut because it was full and she had to stand there with me for another 10 minutes!
When the sherut came I made large sweeping arm gestures suggesting that she should definitely get on the sherut before me.
