zaf·tig [zahf-tik, -tig] –adjective slang.
1. (of a woman) having a pleasantly plump figure.
2. full-bodied; well-proportioned.
Zaftig is a Yiddish word, variously translated as juicy, luscious, or ripe. It derives from the Old German, saf, or juice. As applied to a woman, it means buxom, voluptuous, bosomy, or rubenesque.
The Zaftig Redhead -- political, opinionated, and redheaded -- a dangerous combination tailor made to speak truth to power. The problem with politics today is that it's become more about complex plans and partisan bickering than about the basics of kitchen table economics and overcoming the hurdles of everyday life. You don't have to learn the ins and outs of politics to participate in a meaningful way; instead it's time politicians learned about us -- We, the People. I've listed some of my favorite sources to give you even more of the juicy scoop, hoping that you'll put the squeeze on your elected officials and teach them a thing or two in the process. Just remember, you don't have to be an expert to have an opinion and speak your mind.
