Is that the art of eating fried chicken drumsticks in a sexual manner? |

chutzpah - Nerve, extreme arrogance, brazen presumption. In English, chutzpah often connotes courage or confidence, but among Yiddish speakers, it is not a compliment.
kvetsh - In popular English, kvetch means “complain, whine or fret,”
shlep - To drag, traditionally something you don’t really need; to carry unwillingly. When people “shlep around,” they are dragging themselves, perhaps slouchingly.

Self-defenestration - a difficult defence plea in court. Somewhat easier to make if from a ground floor window |

Similar to Nudzh I take it Ralph. I've never heard of nudzh but it sounds as though it might well be related. Yiddish is a very diversified "language" with many different dialects such as Spaniolite which is the version which evolved from the (mainly Saphardic) Jews expelled from Europe into North Africa during the Spanish Inquisition. |

Geneff is an old Yiddish word for a crook or a swindler. It was the cause of an amusing chess story many moons ago. http://blondepoker.com/forum/index.php?topic=58441.165Reply #176 is the story.
