Thank-you for pointing out another yiddish word I can add to my vocabulary, including mensch. 😊 How do you pronounce gonif? Is the accent on the 1st ot 2nd syllable? I want to sure to say it right!
I agree with you on just about everything… Except how to pronounce “gonif.” The first syllable should rhyme with “con.” My Yiddish-speaking father used the word often.
Gonif, lol. Yiddish is such a rich language about people who fuck around and find out.
I’m rich because I have thousands in Monopoly money. It’ll become real currency someday, I just know it.
Sometimes, Yiddish is le mot just.
Right? It’s so descriptive
It's THE language for frustration and quality sarcasm.
Absolutely!!
My Bubbie was a master at cursing people out in Yiddish. To this day, all of my Yiddish is curse words and insults! Lol
It is, especially when delivered with a sneer and optional hand gesture.
Icing on the cake
As S J Perelman pointed out, here is a language that has 18 words to describe graduations of stupidity from mild befuddlement to out and out bastardry
I’ll bet that Monopoly money can be cashed in Park Slope? Haha All tffg scam crap is recyclable as fire starter ♻️
