There’s a fantastic episode of the BBC comedy Coupling where a guy is talking to an Israeli woman, and mistakes her name for the Hebrew word for “breasts.” My roommates and I have taken to yelling this word at each other, in the fashion of the show. One roommate, whose family is all fluent in Hebrew, just returned from Thanksgiving break, and as he’s leaving the house I yell to him… as his father walks right in the door. I assume he knows I don’t speak Hebrew.
Shadayim!!! 
:smack:
Putz.
Could’ve been worse. You could have talked about your bucket of ears.
What’s her name? Is this the BBC version of “Mulva”?
In the IMDb listing for Coupling: The Girl With Two Breasts she’s just listed as ‘The Girl’. There’s a girl in the pub who only speaks Hebrew. Jeff tries to chat her up and she seems attracted to him. When he tries to find out her name, she thinks he’s talking about her breasts – ‘shadayim’. So Jeff thinks her name is Shadayim.
The guy in Coupling doesn’t know Hebrew - he’s pointing to his chest and saying “Jeff”, and pointing to hers questioningly, and she gets the wrong end of the stick. I’ve always wondered whether the Hebrew in that episode was accurate or not.
Oh, and as for the OP; all episodes of Coupling are fantastic. 
Except Season 4. Coupling really needs Jeff.
Incidentally, Lou Gish (Jeff’s boss/girlfriend ‘Julia Davis’) died nine months ago at the age of 38.
What Season 4? A season without Jeff? Nonsense.
Series Four. Oliver is a sad replacement for Jeff. But it was funny when he said he had tiny erections. (His nipples have a tendency to get hard.)
All my roommates speak Hebrew (except me), and the show is accurate.
Whoosh.
I think Oliver probably would have been better if he wasn’t the Jeff replacement. But ah well.
I suspected as much, but didn’t feel like going back to mention it. 
Hee hee hee… I knew you must have been channeling Jeff when I saw the thread title…
