Definitions
- 1 Alternative spelling of mishegoss. alt-of, alternative, slang, uncountable
"You have been a target ever since your hysterical and paranoid reaction to my insider's quip (MOT) and calling me "a nasty little prick." If you had not chickened out and killfiled me, you could have read all my commentaries to your arrogant, platitude-oozing, patronizing posts, including my references to your frigid butchiness. Here is your original mishegass: "However, the "MOT" reference above did push my button. It stands for "Member of the Tribe", and is a semi-humorous, wryly affectionate way for Jews to refer to each other. Do you suppose that is the way RA is using it?" "Into the killfile, you nasty little prick." If this is not paranoia, I don't know what is: Calling a stranger a "nasty little prick" because he used a "semi-humorous, wryly affectionate" insider's abbreviation. Are there any shrinks in this group to shed light on this snotty cunt's irrational reaction?"
