    I thought '77 might hit a chord. Disco. Hoo ha!

          Management. They carry out deeds, nafarious and evil. But they don't do it with their eyes.

                Or at least the ability of some people to give you bad luck and drain your karma?
                The evil eye can potentially create new "bad" karma, but only if the victim believes in it

                      i always thought the evil eye was just a nasty look. that's all it was ever referred to as all my life.

                      but no, i don't believe in that ability.

                        I'd like a god-fearing christian to tell me why they don't believe in the "evil eye".

                        Lack of proof/evidence?

                            I'm now used to doing research to keep up with your posts but I can't find this one...

                            Exactly two google hits for "keneinahara".

                            You got me.

                              Slurred together, its Yiddish for (IIUC) the Hebrew Ken Ein Ha Ra. May there not be any evil eye. More idiomatically "Stay away, evil eye". Its a routine aside, especially when mentioning something good - like "knock on wood" - cause you know, if the evil eye hears about something good, that will draw it, and jinx the good thing.

                              "how are you?"
                              "doing well, keneinehara"

                              The very religious tend to say "baruch hashem" ("praise G-d")instead, which I always find a tad disconcerting.
