A freier, in Israeli eyes, is a shopper who waits patiently in line to pay retail. It is a driver who searches for legal parking rather than pulling onto the sidewalk with the other cars. And if he does this on the way to file an honest tax return, he is the consummate freier.
The ideal Israeli is clever, shrewd and tough, and a freier is a pushover - in the way that Israelis often perceive Americans to be.
