@everywhereist I'm more intrigued by the possible pronunciation of "checkers."

@everywhereist Well, our household now pronounces "checkers" with a חā€Ž.

@everywhereist Iā€™m confused what the checkers pieces are supposed to represent. Cookies with frosting and sprinkles? Donuts? But not Chanukah donuts (sufganiyot).

@everywhereist I'm more than a little curious about that Jewish Old Maid game. Though I probably don't want to know.

@everywhereist Now I know how to properly pronounce "checkers"!

@everywhereist I actually find it easier to pronounce, Chanuka is literally a swahili phrase, sometimes trying to make something complex or ambiguous to several people ends up simplifying it for many.
