Oops… I Blew it Again. Linguists Take Note- It’s Intergeshlungenah not Intagashlinganah.


Just so that you don’t make the mistake of believing that tzirelchana is all knowing here’s a reader’s letter.

Dear Tzirelchana,

I love your writing, however this weeks INTERGASHLINGANAH BORSHT made me CRINGE!!!!!

I speak Yiddish fluently.
The word used is wrong. Gashlingen means swallowed.
The eggs are BEATEN, or GESHLUGEN. the proper word is INTERGESHLUGENAH Borsht, and INTERGESHLUGENAH Bundlach. Because the eggs are slowly beaten, mixed, combined with the borsht, thus giving it the bright pink color.
Have a great shabbos and happy shlinging your intergeshlugenah borsht
Thanks for writing this and please dear readers, tell if it I’m getting it wrong.
Have a great week!
