Steven Moffat wins another Hugo.

Also, Michael Chabon for best novel.

That, gentlemen, is what we call a hat trick.

Indeed.

Hah. I am listening to the audiobook of that Chabon novel at this very moment. Very well read it is, too.

I really enjoyed it, although I've heard of a couple of people finding it too Jewish for easy comprehension.

I can pick up most of it from context, although I'm not sure I could define offhand exactly what a shlemiel or a goniff is.

[skywaterblue.livejournal.com]

Shlemiel is a clutz (er), clumsy. Someone who is unintentionally awkward. I get called that all the time.

A goniff is a bastard who scams you with fine print. OH! Goniffs are rule lawyers, basically.

See, the danger is that the more of this stuff you pick up, the more likely you are to disregard Toby Ziegler's advice about bringing the Yiddish.
