How Do You Say Hooters in Hebrew?
Once and for all, I decided to see what Hooters is all about, after reading about it - yet again - on CherkyB's recent post.
So I went to their website, smiled at their slogan, that honestly claims they are "Delightfully Tacky, Yet Unrefined",, and was about to get back to more cultural stuff, when my breath came to a halt, as I read the following:
"Franchise Agreement Signed for Introducing Popular Restaurant Concept in Israel".
Indeed, they are planning to open the first Hooters Restaurant this year in Israel, as excitedly reported here.
I have so much to say, mostly about who you should follow as a role model when it comes to good taste.
And yet, I shall remain silent.
(and this is a very, Very, VERY rare state of being thing for me... ask the long-suffering The JohnnyB).
Mind you, in my quest to give an unbiased report, I asked The JohnnyB about Hooters.
He replied, "I dunno. I've never been there".
"How come??", I asked, a bit astonished, as I thought it's the temple of all men here (Well, y'know, I used to watch "Married With Children" quite a bit).
"It's boring", said my beloved, with a 'Duh' intonation to his voice.
"But how is the food there?", I tried in a desperate attempt to be even more unbiased and accepting of other cultures.
"Nobody has ever mentioned the food there", he replied.
Again, I remain silent.
There's some Zen here - do not disturb.
I can, however, even from thousands of miles away, see the tears of gratitude in the eyes of so many Israeli men I know.
WolfieB, WealthyG - here's to you!
I now wonder how they are going to name it in the holy land:

as for a Hebrew name, i would go with "pargiot", in honor of the Hooters' Chicks.

I dunno - "Hooters" is name in honor for the Siliconenized (or not?) boobs of the waitresses, so I expect they would stick with this charming theme in the Land of Milk and Honey .
Or at least in the Land of Milk.
The food is terrible. At least what I had (the buffalo chicken sandwich) was.
Have you noticed how all your most interesting posts are about me?
I'm not surprised The JohnnyB hasn't been to Hooters. Ask him how the lunch buffet is at Kit Kat, and he'll be all over that.
Well, I hate to bring it up, but there's a reason we all used to assume The JohnnyB was, shall we say, artistic.
I can see how painful it was for you to bring it up, being the kind soul that you are.
Artistic, Eh?
So - - - does the fact that I am, shall we say, artistic, means that I am, shall we say, gay?
Hoot = to whistle
Hooter = the thing that whistles
in hebrew צופר

Never been to the Kit Kat Club, cause strip clubs in Silicon Valley suck, and Hooters, so I imagine, is worse.
Only reason for going to a strip club is to see naked women dancing in your face. And naked, none of this dancing for 5 minutes, with only 5 seconds of nudity.
So I'm not artistic, just a purist.
What's the name of that new club in Ft. Tom Collins - supposed to be bigger and better than Hooters? Was it... Moo-ers?
Danny, you really are naive.
Soon CherkyB is gonna accuse you of being, shall we say, artistic.
Yes, I know exactly what the meaning of "to hoot" is, but at Hooters, they go for the slang and for the reason men go there.
Nothin' like the strip clubs on Bourbon Street in N'awlins!
Been there once with some guys from The Company, girls dancing, poles and all, and got a quick lesson how you can tell Siliconeized from pure.
I got extremely bored after 10 minutes.
I guess some would call me artistic now.
No horns, no nada - hooters stands for:
S: (n) owl, bird of Minerva, bird of night, hooter (nocturnal bird of prey with hawk-like beak and claws and large head with front-facing eyes)
( taken from : http://wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=hooter)
So the hebrew name for them will be very simple - right ?

God, y'all truly don't get it, do ya?
OK, let me spell for for you:
Hooters go for big boobs.
As simple as that.
Look at their logo and use your imagination.
What's wrong with you all?
Funny thing is that the no-one sees the humor in Hooters going to Israel - Israel, the land of milk and honey. And Hooters. Yep - there's lots of big ones there. So many, you'd figure that that Hooters would have started there, and been exported (including waitresses) to the US.
Oh - maybe they'd have to call it "Real Hooters", and the US one would then be "Silicone Hooters".
