Fun with Yiddish

[Nonimus]

I believe the plural for 'Goy' is 'Goyim' -

HA! Caught you out there, Gentile!

Oops, did i just say that?

It would be if you were talking Yiddish, but it's a perfectly good English word, right? You don't say "look at those poor shmucken" or whatever it would be, do you?

E non sono comunque molto gentile, capisci?

Shlep, shmok, shnorer , shmuts, shvits, meshuge, and on and on.

I see my Internet explorer doesn't support Hebrew. Oh, well.

Oh, Noni, any Jewish Chavs?

 

[runner]

Not living there, I have no idea what you mean with those words.

Nobody's mentioned feygeleh yet. Is that not PC now?

PC if one is referring to a bird. To use correct yiddish, the common oy vey is really the more complete oy veyesmir.

Tsauris is a common yiddish word. It means troubles or problems. She has such tsauris because her son is a gonif (thief).

You don't have to be PC when using Yiddish. You should hear my bubbie when she gets going. Oy!

You don't need Yiddish words to respond to a fellow Jew. "So how are you?"

"So how should I be?"

ROTFL! That's a cack

My friend recently said to me: "you're a little facacta in the keppa..." to which I replied "Is that Yiddish for insane in the membrane?"

 

[Dobson73]

What does "facacta' mean?

 

[scrubs]

Facacta means lousy, ridiculous
