EJ Padero dot Com: Volume 1

I don’t think I would want to bring my car to this shop:

Klutz Motor Works

To those not in the know, klutz is Yiddish for “clumsy dolt”.

You did WHAT to my car?!! You’re such a klutz!! / You klutz!!

Maybe the owner meant to derive from “clutch”.

Here’s a list of English words of Yiddish origin, thanks to Wikipedia. See how much Yiddish you already know without even being aware of it.

Spotted on Quezon Avenue this morning:

Ang Daming Daan

It’s a pun on Ang Dating Daan, which translates to “The Old Path” or “the old way(s)”. On the jepeney’s mudguard, it means, “the many paths/ways/roads”.

The car show was a blast. It took up the whole of Saturday and was hella fun. “Tsiks and tsikots”, as I put it. Woohoo! We sweat buckets, too. Thanks to Rikx for the advice on bringing extra shirts, folding chairs, and lots to drink.

I had to replenish the San Miguel Pale Pilsen (the best beer in the world!) I perspired. Good thing there was the Jagermeifter (Jagermeister) bus on-site. xp

The Pics! Where are the pix!? Photos taken using Ronnie’s and Noel’s cameras are up!
