I should not bring the Yiddish Roland00 Send a noteboard - 03/04/2018 12:56:50 AM

I should not bring the Yiddish

(Borrowing from West Wing)

TOBY ... Don't bring the Yiddish unless you know what you're doing.

But I am going to be the fool and suggest a word for her. Wouldn't the right word for her be Farshtinkener?

... (and from a different episode West Wing episode) ...

Russian Negotiator Nikolai Ivanovich: I don't know what "frumpy" "farshtinkener" is but onomatopoetically sounds right.
