MEL & EL VOCABULARY LESSON NUMBER 28
JEWPERSTITION \'joo-per-'stish-uhn\ n: a belief or notion, not based on reason or knowledge, that everything is dangerous and horrible and wrong. Primarily found in Jewish mothers.
Mel thought it would be more convenient to have a crib delivered to the apartment before her baby was born, but when her mother screamed like a banshee in protest and spit on the floor three times to ward off unknown demons, she decided to wait and respect her mom's ridiculous Jewperstition.
