tuna beigel?

tuna beigel?

did you see this yet? http://tuna-beigel.blogspot.com
though I'm not sure it'll help you much...

Basically (usually) a hassidic born person who is only still hassidic based off the way he looks, loves to seem very busy and important 3 phones,2 bluetooth's, walkie talkies...has a huge SUV with lights and sirens...

tuna beigel?

I'm actually stumped on this one. But I'll give it a lame try
Ppl that grew up speaking Yiddish only, have a very peculiar accent once they do start speaking English. The accent is very apparent when these people say the word tuna bagel (pronounced: teena baaygel (kinda))
The term somehow came to be used to describe these chassidim when they are clearly trying to Americanize themselves and usually failing.
If you see a former chassid stereotypically wearing a tucked in Polo Shirt and Yankees hat with his peyos (side-locks) tucked away out of sight and a very trimmed "cool" beard he will very often be called a tuna beigel

Sorry if this was long and confused you even more I but it was the best I could do

I was not trying to insult anyone with this post (I hope I have not)

Is it a derogatory term?

somewhat

somewhat

With out knowing the meaning it sure sounds that way.

[yakrot]

Had the pesos been tucked in this pic would be stereotypically perfect.

Famous story that may have never happened or may have happened hundreds of times is when asking such a person something Judaism related they would respond "how do you know I'm Jewish"

Yes it is mostly derogatory however some people I know are tuna beigels and proud... Call themselves one regularly nicknamed "teena"  ect.

My take on it, and im the one who used it, is that its a stereotype Hasid who cannot ask for a Bagel with Tuna at your local deli and instead asks for a Tuna Bagel. Its the guy trying to sound sophisticated and failing miserably. It also comes with a certain polished look to an uncouth uniform hasidic dress code. See e.g. that wonderful Yankee pic above.
