MikeK Sez Bris Rather Than Circ-Word

On his Facebook page, Councilman MikeK couldn’t bring himself to say the Circ-Word when referring to the medical procedure that baby son Ronan endured recently. So he called it a Bris — the Jewish word for the circumcision ceremony. Which prompted an SR colleague to leave a not on his Facebook page, asking MikeK if his wife was Jewish. She isn’t. A Jewish friend from the East Coast chided MikeK for not picking a better Jewish custom to name as a substitution for the Circ-Word, like Bar Mitzbah. She reasoned: “At least there’s a bar in that ceremony.” MikeK told Huckleberries that the word “circumcision” is “so tough for a guy to manage.”

Question: How do you feel about the practice of circumcision?
