When the וילנא גאון saw a group of men and women playing cards together, he at first smiled and then frowned. When asked why, he explained: “When I saw you, I was reminded of the saying כלבים משחקים אליהו בא לעיר and I was happily anticipating his arrival. But then I realized that the reference is to כלבים and not to a כלבה among them.”
