Yes, that's right. I love Yiddish. Of the many languages I am interested in, it definitely has the most character. And like USA says, character welcome. So yes, I have a list of Yiddish words I need to use more often smack-dab in the middle of my desktop. I love to use them. They can express everything from exasperation to disgruntlement to bemusement with such panache. As a fan of language, I am simply in love with the words of Yiddish. Perhaps I shall write an ode to them...
Some of my favorites:
spilkes
tuches (I've used this one here before)
conniption
SCHMUTZ
bupkes
kvetch
mishugana
Gold Star to anyone who knows what those all mean.
