OY VEH!

You think you're a goyum????

You should only know better, What did you do in Hebrew school? Sleep?

'Tel' is the Hebrew word for hill. Even me, a gentile knows that!   

For you, mister smarty-pants, here is the derivation form Wikipedia - tell (from Hebrew: תֵּל‎, tel)
The whole thing is "A tell (from Hebrew: תֵּל, tel, Arabic: تلّ‎, tall), meaning "hill" or "mound", is a type of archaeological site in the form of an earthen mound that results from the accumulation and subsequent erosion of material deposited by long human occupation."

What would your mother think????? You should only hide this from her. She would die if she knew!
