Modern Hebrew doesn't use that word in the sense of gadfly, but we do have the related <i>kartzia</i> קרציה meaning "tick" - another term for an annoying person.</p>antares commented on 'What the heck is a Gadfly?'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c581e53ef00e5503ee26588332007-09-26T23:22:20Z2008-02-14T04:52:48ZantaresYears ago, when I was applying to law schools, I read the catalog for Yale.

In the introduction, the dean of the law school called Yale "the gadfly of the law." </p>

There are a lot of challenges surrounding the capture of this mighty sea creature.</p>

<p>Between that and my knowledge of the correct meaning of the word "bemuse" and pronounciation of the word "forte," I'm sure to be a smash at parties, I tell ya!
