Lest people forget, the term "VusVusim" came into Israeli slang a long time after such terms as "Frankim" had made their way into Ashkenazi usage as ethnic slurs on the Sephardim. So to all of you Frankim, VusVusim, Groozinim, AngloSaksim, Yekkim, Taymanim, Morrokaim, etc., etc., my wishes for a happy 5735. bill peter los alamos
