One way around vocabulary issues is to Hebraicize the word "groundhog." If the news anchors can get away with this trick (e.g. "americanizatzya, balkanizatzya, regulatzia, etc.) why can't you?<BR/><BR/>Pronounce it "gehroundchog" with an emphasis on the guttural "chog". This way you look really smart and the person you're telling the story to looks like an ignorant hillbilly. ;)<BR/><BR/>"Mah, lo lamadata baTichon ma zeh Groundhog?!
