The kids have a Saba Tuvya DVD fdepicting various stages of the history of the state. They watched it today for Yom Ha'atzmaut.
One of the skits is about the pioneers having to complete a building overnight, because the law states that a structure with a roof cannot be destroyed/demolished. Within the skit are two Arab characters trying to puzzle out how these Jews managed to get their hands on so much building material and erect a complete building when at dusk there had been NOTHING there. (To be fair, the British are made fun of similarly, when the army captain can't find the building on a map, and is "astonished".)
Anyway, on seeing these two Arab guys on the screen, my politically left-wing bleeding heart DH made a comment something like "Allahoo akhbar" (Allah is great), which Emmanuel Tzvi heard as "Allahoo achbar" (Allah is a mouse). And promptly replied:
"Allah lo achbar"
"Allah chatool"
