Eyval, Nazy khanom!

Have fun!
فرشته مهمان نواز

دوستانی که شانس حضور در پارتیهای نازی خانم را داشته اند خوب میدانند که این مهمانیها انصافا با تصاویر بهشت رقابت دارند. واژه "فرشته" در این متن و زمینه مناسب است زیرا که بنظر مونث میاید ولی در ریشه لغوی فرسته یا فرستاده است و در این سرحد مهر و نوازش مرد و زن نمیشناسد

You said:
Although in professions where there is a history of discrimination against women or an intrinsic inequality between the sexes, gender specific use of nouns is considered by some "a thing of the past"
wouldn't that be the exact reason FOR using gender specific nouns?Pardon me for saying this, But i don't think your message is coming across clearly.
Speechless!
by Nazy Kaviani on Fri Jul 02, 2010 09:48 AM PDTHeeh! Here's a rare thing you guys: this has left me speechless! Through my embarrassment for the extra attention, I have felt and received Jahanshah's kindness and mehr. I am also very touched with all the other kind comments. I love having my friends to my humble home and I am blessed with the coolest friends in the world! Please consider yourselves invited if you are ever in the area.
Jahanshah Jan, there is no party this weekend except for the super cool one at Yoshi's where Kiosk will be performing a very special and exclusive concert. We will miss you and all other Kiosk fans.
Thank you all for your kind and funny comments!
problem is that
by Marjaneh on Fri Jul 02, 2010 07:05 AM PDTit's impossible to invite Nazy back to one's own pad - for an imminent flop.

Declaration
by Jahanshah Javid on Fri Jul 02, 2010 04:36 AM PDTNew Yorker, is that so? Well then I declare that from now on "hostess" shall be stricken from the English language. Problem solved :)

correction
by newyorker on Fri Jul 02, 2010 04:25 AM PDTYou'll find, Mr. Javid-khan, that although in the U.S. there is acceptance for some nouns to be gender neutral, the word "host" is not one of them. "Waiter" and "actor" are commonly used; "steward" is not. No flight attendant (preferred term for female attendants on planes these days) would ever call herself a "steward". (There are those on planes, still, and they are all men.) No woman would call herself a "host", either. Although in professions where there is a history of discrimination against women or an intrinsic inequality between the sexes, gender specific use of nouns is considered by some "a thing of the past" (but no linguistics expert would agree, nor would any credible editor accept the use of the masculine), in the case of "host" or "hostess" that is not the case. It is simply incorrect, and akin to describing a woman as "he", just to be politically correct in not specifying gender.
With regards.
Does Nazy have cook book? Wow!Looks even better than my sister's
by obama on Thu Jul 01, 2010 09:45 PM PDTNever seen this in any persian restaurant? Lucky her husband and the guests! I feel sorry for us who can only look and get ulcers!

Host
by Jahanshah Javid on Thu Jul 01, 2010 02:59 PM PDTNew Yorker jaan, the "ess" in hostess, waitress, stewardess, actress, poetess and... is becoming a thing of the past.
Correction
by newyorker on Thu Jul 01, 2010 02:52 PM PDTYour post should read "hostess" and not "host". The person you refer to is still, I presume, a woman.

But enough about me.... let's talk about Nazy Kaviani ;-)
Nazi jaan, I'll vote for you for President, if Iran turns out to be a republic, and vote for you to be our Queen, if we are going to be a monarchy (hell, even Valee eh Fagheeh, if Iranians vote, yet again, for an Islamic republic!)

I c margarita mix but no Tequila?! Where's the tequila rituals?!
by Anonymouse on Thu Jul 01, 2010 07:48 AM PDTThat's a margarita mix in the 2nd picture right? I hope the lack of tequila shot rituals is not because tequila shots make Iranians quasi-something!
Perhaps the host can prepare some jello shots for this year! Here are the jello shot recipes and the aftermath!
