We use a lot of Yiddish words on this site. However, we realize there are many of you that do not know what those words mean. So here's a helpful guide to some of the terms we use on a regular(ish) basis:

Meshuggenah: One who is crazy

Schlimiel: A person who can't do anything right

Kvetch: To complain

Kibitz: To chat, converse. To give unwanted or unwarranted advice

Now let's use it all in a sentence:

Why, in Hashem's name, do we listen twice a week to this meshuggenah schlimiel kvetch about his feral cats and kibitz with B-list comedy/music celebrities?

See how easy it is to pepper your patois with a bisel of the mother tongue?
