DOT Nixes ‘Oy Vey’ Sign in Brooklyn
The Jewish Week reports,
The city Department of Transportation rejected a request for a road sign reading “Leaving Brooklyn: Oy Vey!” made by Borough President Marty Markowitz. The city said the sign would be more distracting than helpful for motorists leaving Brooklyn for Manhattan on the Williamsburg Bridge, according to The Associated Press.
Markowitz said the Yiddish phrase now is a “common Brooklyn expression” and “I’m sorry if the DOT has no sense of humor.”
The city also rejected a sign reading “Leaving Brooklyn: Fuhgeddaboudit!” at another city bridge.
“Oy vey” is right.
