[QUOTE=stpauler] My SO really wants something as catchy as [Katz’s NY deli’s slogan which is “Send a salami to your boy in the army”.](http://www.katzdeli.com/shopping/index.php?cat=apparel) [/QUOTE] Wait… why is this catchy? I mean, I get that it rhymes, but there doesn’t appear to be anything clever or even remotely memorable about it. What am I missing? Tell your SO that I, at least, cast my vote for “Chazer-sized chutzpah”. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=NajaNivea] Wait… why is this catchy? I mean, I get that it rhymes, but there doesn’t appear to be anything clever or even remotely memorable about it. What am I missing? [/QUOTE] From [Wikipedia:](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katz's_Delicatessen) _During World War II, Katz’s encouraged parents to “send a salami to your boy in the army” which became one of the deli’s famous catch phrases,[3] along with “Katz’s, that’s all!” which is still painted on the side of the building. The former phrase is referenced in the Tom Lehrer song “So Long Mom (A Song for World War III)”, with the lyric “Remember Mommy, I’m off to get a commie, so send me a salami, and try to smile somehow”._ It’s a bit of a double fold for them. [QUOTE=NajaNivea] Tell your SO that I, at least, cast my vote for “Chazer-sized chutzpah”. 😉 [/QUOTE] Thanks, although I think it’s already been vetoed, just like my original idea of “Chome of the Chazer”. Not funny, said he. ---

[QUOTE=Missy2U] Fighting Hunger Since 1949 (It’s taking longer than we thought) [/QUOTE] I really like this one. Sure, I understand the reference and many wouldn’t, but it’s not the original that matters. It’s fairly short and not too trendy or slangy, which would necesitate changing it again later on. Other than that, the one with the arm lifting the sandwich(Chazercise) would be my favorite. ---

Some ideas… Best of the wurst. Deli neat, with a beef chazer. Dill pickles, pastrami, salami, Reubens, chazers, blintzes, latkes, soups, cole slaw, and chopped liver. Are you sure you’re hungry enough? ---
