In Israel, Adam Lambert would have won - Haaretz - Israel News
This is a great article on American Idol runner up (and slightly overblown homosexual) Adam Lambert.
But what got me about the article was it's use of the word "Grundyism" (defined by Google as "primness: excessive or affected modesty" - i.e. that in this case Americans were pretending to be offended by Adam's campness")
Does modern Hebrew (from which I assume Ha'aretz articles are translated) really have a distinct word for "grundyism" - derived from a Dicken's character.
If so, I want to know which word.
