This is the Conversation Forum for Afula, Israel << Afula/Falafel note from author >> Subject: Afula's Nickname Posted Aug 21, 2002 by Fire Bat   Posting 1 As you mentioned, Afula is considered boring and dusty. A nickname i heard describing this situation is "the hole at the end of the ruler". If you don't, the road leading to Afula is staright as a ruler, and therefore called like that, and as you probably do know, rulers have a hole at their end. "A hole" (chor in hebrew) is slang equivalent to "a dump". Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
