LESSON IN APPELLATION
by Neang Delilah
Let me get a few things off my chest, a lesson in appellation, if you
will: I am NOT named for a strip club as I've overheard otherwise
intelligent men say within my hearing.
The moniker comes from the ancient world, embedded in Hebrew history,
of an era not unlike our own, not unlike the happenings in today's
Kingdoom of Wonder, where lawlessness reigns supreme, of brutal gang
rapes, of treachery in relations, of betrayals, of rampant violence and
prostitution, when the wayward Israelites were ruled by judges, before
they pestered Yahweh for a king, so they could "be like everyone else",
their pagan neighbors.
(Oh, btw, Yahweh is the Hebrew for God
Almighty. The name is significant, so significant that my mistress Ms.
Theary gets all worked up when it's not accurately translated into
Khmer. Here's what I mean: https://www.box.com/s/ nyl6qe204v8aroqdvej3)
So PUH'leese, no more modern strip club allusions.
I am Delilah of "Samson and Delilah", of ancient days, to beguile all
-- both those who do and who do not come in peace. However, with a bite
of treachery reserved for the latter!
Here's the story of Samson and Delilah (chapter 16) in KHMER, edited and punctuated by my mistress Ms. Theary: https://www.box.com/s/ cush2uwzws4affxwdiwk
