2) Mashuganah- Crazy person, its obviously fun to play with this word.
3) Nuchslep- Curiosity or pathetic loser.
4) Yutz/Putz- most people know the meaning of these two words, it's a bit crass, but its like buthead but worse.
5)Shiksa- a women no one likes, a real witch!
6) Goyisha- Nation
7) Goyim- house of nations.
8) Vey iz mir- woe is me
9) Oy vey- exclamation of dismay, or pain..Oh no"
10) Yenta- busybody
11) Schlep- to drag unwillingly
12) Shlemiel- a clumsy inept person, similar of a klutz.
13) Shlimazel- Someone with constant bad luck
14) Schmooze- chat or small talk
