Shabbat Shalom

Yeah, yeah, we're late again. We're on Arkansas time here, now, today. That explain it?

With the advent of the Internet, you can run an easy web search on almost any search engine for “Jewish slang words” and come up with millions of web sites that touch on the topic. From just a few of those sites, here is a short list for you to enjoy.  Be a Mensch and learn them all!
• Shmendrik — This means that the person is a jerk, but MUCH bigger than a normal jerk.  He is the master of all jerks.
• Tsuris — This refers to troubles, troubles that are so big that you beat your head in trying to pronounce this word to tell someone about them.
• Yutzi — This refers to something or someone that is stupid.
• Yiddishe Kup — This phrase literally stands for “Jewish head”.  Similar to that of butt head or get your Jewish head out of your Jewish backside.
• Shiksa — This is what you will be called if you are unfortunate enough to be a Non-Jewish woman.
• Shagetz — This what you will be called if you are unfortunate enough to be a Non-Jewish woman. Meshugeneh is a crazy, insane woman. You can also use the Jewish slang word klip, which stands for a gabby woman.

(Why are all these slang words mocking women, you might wonder? And where are the ones for men? You’ll have to explore some more Jewish Slang dictionaries and see if you can find them!)
