"Jewfro"

[Wilson Gray]

This was used by John Stewart on lat night's Daily Show. If it wasn't
for Larry, I would never have heard this one, before. Rather, I
remember "Jaf(f)ro" and "Isro," from back in the day. I assume that
the "Jaffro" spelling both punned on "Jaffe" and blocked the
pronunciation, "Jayfro."

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
