The Jewish Balabustah Pole Dancer

A week or so ago, I related to and commented on the story of Stern Girls exercising via pole dancing.

I have now managed to obtain a picture of supposedly what a true Jewish balabustah* looks like while pole dancing:


*
In Hebrew, the master of the house is literally the ba'al ha'bayit, or ba'al ha'bayis.  The words, when they transmuted into Yiddish, became balabus. It's fairly common in Yiddish for a male term, when converted to its female equivalent, to take on the ending "te" or "ene," e.g. chazzan-chazzante, yid-yidene.  Thus for every balabus there is usually a balabuste.  This is one word that is almost always positive, expressing admiration for a woman who can take hold of a home and manage it well.

You are displaying a picture of the sport of "extreme ironing". You could google on that - if you weren't busy trying to find "jewish" excuses to look at chicks in bikinis.

FrumSatire.net might get ALL OVER your case after this.
