I live in suburbia. I'm in a college town of 100,000, about a mile from dead center of town.
What makes me chuckle is a neighbor a few hundred yards away who acquired some chickens. Not only that, but they have a ROOSTER that is apparently confused about his job description, because he cock-a-doodle-dos all day long. This is neighborhood is most definitely NOT zoned for agriculture. Far from annoying, it brightens my day that they have the chutzpah. It has been crowing for 2 months so far, apparently without complaints or zone-enforcers.
I think I'll ask if I can buy up any extra eggs.
Is there a non-jewish equivalent to "chutzpah"?
