Iron Heart YouTube Videos

Can anyone think of a tougher Iron Heart jacket (past or present)?

@SamD sounds almost a bit Dutch/ German. We have the word 'stom' with the same* meaning, Interesting!

• well, it can also mean: stupid, but can also be used mute: a movie without dialogue is a 'stom(me)' movie. And someone without speech can also be 'stom'.

Its Yiddish, which is a hybrid of german and hebrew. I always thought using these words in english was mainly a NY kind of thing though..

some examples that come to mind
going for a shwitz - go to the sauna (from schwitzen, to sweat)
a smier - putting cream cheese on a bagel (from schmieren, to smear)
stum - to be quiet about something (from Stumm, mute)
drek - dirt (from Dreck, dirt)

but theres a whole wikipedia page for those of course

I suspect it's used in southern English almost exclusively and probably comes from London. I'm southern and live in the north/midlands and use it myself but never hear other people using it. Historically there was a significant European Jewish minority in London.

@tenuin That’s funny. After watching the pronunciation vide I thought to myself it totally sounded like Yiddish!

As it's been a quiet couple of weeks for launches, I've been tinkering with the lighting and backdrop for these vids. Not quite finished yet, as we've got new flooring on the way and shelves to put up, but hope you all like the new look.

@SamD Tough news about 21/23oz Ultra Heavy Raw. What happened at the mill? Have they tightened the noise restrictions in the area?

I love these little videos even when I am not interested in the product. Though I often find myself interested by the end!
