Lots of great old words we don't hear too much of anymore https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_words_of_Yiddish_origin

Have you seen Laverne & Shirley? Even that song they sing at the start, the Schlemiel,Schlimazel part even that has meaning.

Putz, schmuck, schmeckle, etc., I love 'em. Very humorous!

I love how a lot of those Yiddish words sound like what they mean.

Shtoop being another great example.
