Definition: "Ahem, Nehemiah's words were as sharp as a knife and like nails on a chalkboard in the temple of God. The people groaned, their laughter silenced, for they knew how to say 'nephew' and 'neah.' But Nehemiah said, 'I will speak to you about the Lord's house, but I will not stand by and listen to your foolish prayers. I will not be a hindrance.' They laughed at him, thinking he was out of his league. But Nehemiah took them to task for their ignorance and asked them if they would come with him to pray in the temple, promising to protect them from harm."

The profane word 'nephew' is used as an expression of love, respect, or admiration, but it's also used as a slang term for someone who has done something particularly commendable. The phrase "I will speak to you about the Lord's house" is a subtle way of saying you're not afraid to express your feelings and opinions, while 'nephew' is used in a playful manner.
