shalala
adj.— «The students must travel in a pack and are not allowed to wear visible skullcaps or Stars of David anywhere but inside the school. They are also discouraged from dressing in a manner that Mr. Barthel calls “Shalala,” meaning that they asked to refrain from dressing in a style which in North American parlance might be termed “Jappy.”» —“Barricaded in Paris” by Mireille Silcoff FrontPageMag.com Nov. 25, 2005.
