Perks of being bilingual is that sometimes the name of a person saying something inappropriate ends up being a joke in itself.
For example: a woman mocking a Hanukkah party named "Christiana Lo", which code switching to Spanish and Hebrew means "Christian (fem) no" (read as in the "Piper no" meme).

"punishing all Jews for «things I don't like done by some Jews I don't like» excused because those Jews I don't like claim to represent all Jews" still falls under "punishing all Jews for the Jews I don't like" category. You're just doing antisemitic recursion.

Once upon a time there was a service that would automate dealing with some paperwork (traffic fines I think) via computer automation. That was shut down quick.

Joining late the fist names joke trend:
One of my fists is "shel Shabbat" and the other "shel Hanukkah".
One of my fists is "shel Shabbat" and the other "shel Hanukkah".
The joke is that many Jews accidentally say "shel shabbat" on the first night or two of Hannukah while blessing the candles instead of "shel Hannukah" due to muscle memory. And then on the first Shabbat after Hannukah, they make the opposite mistake because of new muscle memory.

I have a new verse for the latke song
Take a cat and pat pat pat
Hug her till she’s flat flat flat
Don’t fry her in a pan with fat fat fat
Hanukkah kitties don’t like that
Hanukkah kitties Don’t Like That
Best sung to a cat while petting them.

One of my pet peeves would be solved by a Venn diagram but instead of 2 circles we have 1 shaped like Latin America, and another shaped like North America.
The intersection is shaped like Mexico.
(The peeve is that a lot of times Mexico is excluded from "North America", obviously 😉 )
