Yiddish lesson for y'all: I'm kvelling. I'm proud to be an American and have Barack and Michelle

[Happyhippychick]

representing my country to the rest of the world. I adore both of them. This isn't hero worship, this is pride and if you don't like it then feel free to lump it :)

By the way, "kvelling" means "swelling with pride" or "delighted".

1. We can ALL be "Kvelling" over this!! Even if

we don't know much Yiddish!

[Ikonoklast]

2. We have a Mensch leading us now.

Instead of a meshugeh gonif as we had previous.

[Kahuna]

3. I've heard that expression before. It's very appropriate. Kahuna, likewise..

is kvelling. ;)

4. Well, as long as you're not "kvetching".

We're all full up on that around here.

;)

5. Yeah, I Agree

Kvelling sums it up nicely. There's other stuff too, like relief, confidence, hope...
