I have Windows 10 configured to show the active window's caption in a different color (otherwise it's rather impossible to tell which window has focus when they're all white), but it seems that those rules go out the window (see what I did there?) with UWP apps.

There are some that are Rabina shop, but mostly they have a vicious streak a mile wide! Hence the Killer Rabbette of Caerbannog.

There will be nun of that in the lounge! Prioress to your post, we steered pretty clear of religion. Monk-ying around with the status quo is sin the cards.
Aside:
I know a guy from a very religious family; his father a priest, his mother a nun, and I confess I'm not sure how he'll take this kind of talk.

A rabbi's wife is referred to as a Rebbetzin.
A female rabbi is referred to as a shanda.

shanda? Is this related to the german word Schande - Wiktionary ??
Why would a female rabbi be a disgrace?

It's Yiddish and descended in parallel from hochdeutsch- so the meanings somewhat the same. As I was given to understand the word, it's somewhat of a richer more diverse meaning. Explained by example rather than by definition. It makes more sense that way.
Example: Shcmukelah (any number of spellings) is, more or less, defined as a crude pejorative term "little penis". Somehow, though, when I was explained with conceptual examples, it was even usable in an endearing way as that was a potential implication. Very context sensitive language. Probably explains all the comedians with Jewish backgrounds. Comedy is context

There are some people who get along with everyone. Obviously, from my posts, you know I'm not one of them. But there are people who I don't get along with (and don't want to get along with). Unless one has some very special drugs, I don't think it's normal to get along with everyone - but what do I know.
Examples at work include a person who deliberate breaches my trust or are a predator of vulnerable employees. And, of course, the chronic liars. [Chronic idiots aren't included because, well, they're idiots]
This could probably be contorted into a survey question, but meanwhile, any comments (or more interestingly, examples!) ? Even those of you who claim you're described in the preceding paragraph

In theory getting along with people is what preserves the human race.
This does not mean you have to like them or engage them in conversation. It just means that you should not kill them, or beat them around the face and head.
Sometimes all it takes is not saying or doing anything at all, which facilitates a successful "getting along" event.

Different strokes for different folks - so I appreciate your sentiments.
As it turns out, however, I'm the one that does the stuffing . . .

Yup - but can't help but run with the opportunities when they arise - we both did.
It's the lounge - I expected no more - no less - in the responses. It's the kind of thing I'd do.
Of course, now I've reduced you to a predictable entity. No malice intended (that I'll admit to).
