Re: favorite yiddish word
Wed, July 7, 2004 - 7:28 PMI don't have a lot of Yiddish, but my fave has to be verblunget, sometimes also spelled farblondget--an adjective which more-or-less translates as a state of confusion or mixed-up-edness. The way my elders used it, it seemed to have a connotation of "f%&@ed up beyond all recognition" -- as in, "Murray was trying to fix the kitchen faucet, and now the plumbing is all verblunget."
Close runners-up are meshuggah, meshuggenah and mishegase. Very useful terms, with all the mishegase going on in the world. -

Wed, July 7, 2004 - 10:07 PMSo, this Japanese man hears from a coworker that his wife is having an affair. And not just an affair, but it's with a Jew.
So he confronts her, "Are you having an affair? With a man of the Jewish faith?"
She replies, "No, not at all. Where you hear such mishegosh?"

Re: favorite yiddish word
Wed, July 7, 2004 - 10:21 PMi love the earthy sound of yiddish
it almost always makes me smile
i made up a yiddish word
chechm
use the throat clearing sound for the ch's
it means nasty substance
"don't touch that, it's chechm"
"i walked in with chechm on my shoe!" -

Re: favorite yiddish word
Wed, July 7, 2004 - 11:27 PMActually, Yiddish is a legitimate language - well, a creole technically (I believe). It's a mixture of Hebrew and German, written in Hebrew.
So, while you can make up words that *sound* Yiddish, being a complete, if stagnant, language, you generally don't need to.
"schmutz" is the word you described for that second definition. -

Re: favorite yiddish word
Thu, July 8, 2004 - 3:31 AMits actually very funny...since hebrew is my mother tongue, i can read yiddish, since its written with hebrew letters, but i understand about 25% and the rest sounds like total gibrish german sounding written in hebrew..
"kishta" is also a good one(we use it also in hebrew), you say it to a cat, a dog or a little annoying kid when you want them to fuck off.

Re: favorite yiddish word
Sun, July 11, 2004 - 2:33 PMYep.
Y'know how they say that you can tell a lot about a language and its people by what concepts they have lots of words for vs. other concepts they have no words for? As in, there's supposed to be some far-northern peoples whose language has dozens of terms for different types of snow? Well, it's always amused me that Yiddish has dozens of terms for describing just what type of idjit a person may be. Shlemiel, shlemazel, nebish, shmendrik, shmuck, shlub, nudnick ... the list goes on and on! What that means, I'll leave it to youze guyz to interpret ... :-)
