Tahhh Daaahhh! Faster than a bullet! More powerful than a speeding locomotive! Leaps tall buildings in a single bound! It's Supergirl to the rescue!!! Out of the West comes Nomina Domina in her Vampire schmata, and takes vengeance on the errant broad.

 

"Vampire schmata"? You speaka da Yiddish, G.O.? (Which, as everybody knows, is merely a dialect of NewYorkese).

I think G.O. is referring to a similarity between your experience and mine, an unpleasant encounter with a crazy woman I had which I blogged about a few days ago. And the full moon isn't for another two weeks yet.

"Schmata" is Yiddish for "a cheap piece of cloth; tawdry dress; rag" etc.

 

The irony of it is that what I was wearing (which was so cattily criticized by my clearly vampire-phobic, more-than-somewhat racist, and not-a-little-bit ignorant loudmouth antagonist) was a rather expensive, richly-woven, ankle-length, 100-percent alpaca-wool poncho. Which I had purchased last October and blogged about in Shopping Advice from Strangers.
