Jewlous, not to be confused with Jewlust, is when a non-Jew wants, so very badly, to be Jewish.
Example: I knew a girl in high school who had a severe case of Jewlousy. She was not Jewish, but she was forever saying things like, “Happy Tisha B’Av!!,” and “Lag B’Omer y’aallllll.” I always wanted to tell her that wishful thinking will get you nowhere; convert or get the fuck. Unless you are propagating little Jews, we have no use for your kind, but that would’ve been mean.
Jewlust, on the other hand, is an extreme situation in which the luster is (perhaps unwillingly) attracted to a Jewish person.
Example: “Dude, Rachel looks so fine today; I want to put my lox in and around her bagel.
Man, you are Jewlustin’.”
