[edit] Anekdot

Ехал как-то раз В. Даль по N-ской губернии. "Замолаживает", – сказал ямщик. "Замолаживает", – записал Даль в свою тетрадь, – в N-ской губернии означает…" "Замолаживает, – повторил ямщик, – холосо бы, балин, к ветелу до делевни доблаться".

[edit] Judaism Unrelated

The man made one of the greatest contributions to Russian/Eastern Slavic Studies of all time. He, himself, was Ukrainian-born and included Ukrainian as a dialect of Russian. His dictionary is still the definitive source on the Russian language. THAT can be considered important. Minor display of antisemitism during lifetime? a) hasn't got much to do with Judaism, b) too minor and typical to be meaningful, c) listed "misconception" has been attributed to various Europeans and Christians spanning half a millenium in the least, from Hussites/Defenestration to Russian Revelotion - may just be a long-running joke never taken seriously by all but the most dense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.195.186.63 (talk) 17:36, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Such unserious stories have existed through the ages. In Slavic cultures, the re-telling of such myths is sarcastic, testing the wit of the listener, and having a collective laugh at the expense of those dense enough to believe them.
