is just a perfect embodiment of it's definition. i live in a very jewish hood, and have picked up a few words.
i was talking about it w my voice teacher, who is married to a jew, and whose grands go to jewish school and are learning hebrew. he pulled out a book- dick and jane in yiddish.
i need to get a copy. it's hilarious.
