וויכוח מצחיק על מי ילבש את הפוקסה

What does “foksa” mean in Hebrew slang?

פוקסה (foksa) is Israeli Hebrew slang for a fluffy fake-fur jacket or shaggy coat. The word comes from English “fox” plus a feminine Hebrew ending, and it sat at the heart of Israeli late-1990s and 2000s street fashion, especially in Tel Aviv nightclubs. Recent revivals have brought foksa back to Israeli closets, with secondhand shops and Y2K-style boutiques selling them again.

In this clip, two friends argue over who gets to wear the foksa for a night out. The argument is the joke: a fake-fur jacket has become serious enough to fight over. Israeli sitcoms and comedy sketches love this kind of fashion-feud setup, especially when it involves a borrowed garment that turns into a months-long custody battle.
