rabbi

(noun) By metaphor from the Jewish religious role, an older, more powerful or higher-ranking person in the corporation where one works (but usually not in the chain of command) who can give good advice about office politics, and may be able to pull strings, remove heads, or otherwise provide protection from hostile forces.

"They tried to put me on the plank but I got on the horn to my rabbi and everything was fixed immediately."

rabbi

Almost always used in conjunction with a Jewish holy man. Word originally simply meant teacher.

Although it is usually used with Judaism, the word is not Hebrew, it is Greek.

We need to have little Josh circumsized, call the rabbi.

rabbi

1) A trusted teacher/advisor/leader of a Jewish community. Most often, they are true intellects that do have good advice and insightful philosophies of the world.

2) The Arabic word for the season of Spring. Actually pronounced rabb-ee with a glottal stop at the end.

If a teacher's or doctor's advice doesn't seem to fill you with certainty, consult a rabbi.

Shamm Iniseem aw Eed al-rabbi', the Spring festival of Egypt, falls on the same day as the Christian Orthodox Easter every year.
