Gypsy Tears

in that borat movie, he goes around demanding gypsy tears from people and claims that a jar of gypsy tears wards off sexually transmitted diseases. is this actual folklore or just a product of his comedy? ive just been curious about the topic, and google has been of no help.

Are you a gypsy? I guess it upset you.

no, just sparked my curiosity, considering old world superstitions and folklore amuse me. i was wondering if he just made it up or if it was actually believed at one time to be beneficial. do you have anything to contribute?

Meltdown thread 😂

ok, i guess you just want to prevent any discussion on this forum.

anyway, here's a quote from the movie:

"Use Protection: Do not make a sexytime without precaution against disease. A jar of gypsy tears worn around neck will prevent from infect by Herpes and Gonnoreas."

I love Borat. I used to watch it all the time on the Ali G show. The film was great.

Classic 😂

yes, a real knee-slapper.

but anyway, was this borrowed from actual folklore?

All I know is some sell "lucky heather" which is a scam.

why did you edit? your post was very descriptive.

I didn't want to warn people who visit a certain part of London, as it is amusing to watch.

Shouldn't this be in the movie forum? Damn Borat is funny. 😂

must be a riot.

anyway,

gypsy tears used to prevent std's: old world folklore or hollywood fiction?

God knows.... Depends if you believe in magic, do you think the "Jew Claw" is real? Was it gypsies his people threw down wells? 😆
