“Call me a nut-cracker and take me to ‘Nesane-toykef’”
ruf mikh knaknisl un fir mikh in nesane-toykef
“Unesane –Tokef” or Netane Tokef, is one of the central prayers of the Jewish High Holy Days. It contains the line “On Rosh-HaShana (Rosheshone) it is written, and on Yom Kipur (Yonkiper) it is sealed.
This expression could best be translated as “So sue me” or “Tell it to the Judge”

What a beautiful conceit -- We start out with nutshells full of meat, and then, at the bottom, as we emerge, we find that while we were filling up with knowledge, the nuts were being put to their proper use too.
Yaser keyach.
Nice and informative post.
I find it interesting to examine the terms too and think about their etymology and background.
For example, limoshol, Ginkgo trees are called Fan leaf (trees). Their scientific name is Ginkgo biloba - Ginkgo is derived from Chinese I think and I think biloba means two lobes - that the leaves often (most of time?) have two lobes.
Acorns are called chazer nis (pig nuts) because people don't eat them, just animals usually.
Velshener nis for Walnuts (Welsh nuts? related to Wales?)? Not Wald nuts (Vald nis) (forest nuts) I guess.
Knok nisl (nut knocker) for nutcracker. Interesting.
Yaser keyach!
P.S. But I don't think they had ginkgo nuts in 'der alter heim', unless they were Chinese Yidden maybe. ;-)
Nice article you got here. I'd like to read something more about this theme. Thanx for sharing this data.
