    you could but you don't want to, the ba'al shemtov's students were siting in a baismedrish and a goy stuck is head through the window and he said my horse died come and help me, and they said we can't so the goy answered modzhizh da nye chotchish (you can but you dont want to).

    We can learn out a lot of things from this story.
    In Australian it means 'I can't be stuffed'.
    Lots of times you make excuses for things but really you know that you could do it if you wanted, but you can't be stuffed.
    P.S.That goes for anyone who didn't come on the awesome bike ride/soccer match (not really but who cares)
