[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 681627, member: 1963"] Irish twins=babies born to the same mother within a year of each other. Perjorative. My nephew went back to the old country and found many old maternal family graves in Lithuania. My family was really uncomfortable with me going to Germany to live with my husband when the Army transferred him there. I was there when the borders were first opened (I lived so close to the border that I could see it from our balcony.) and when the Wall finally came down. I traveled all over, but was unable to visit any of the Eastern Bloc nations that my family came from, other than a cat show in Czechoslovakia shortly after the border opened, which was a novel in and of itself. I went with a friend as husband couldn't go. I picked up German quite easily as I grew up with Yiddish spoken in the house, though have forgotten most of it, but can still understand it. Unfortunately, I also came home with a German accent when I spoke Yiddish, which was much worse than the Yiddish accent I had when I spoke German. [/QUOTE]
