Synopsis "Talking Dirty - In Yiddish? (in English)"
Have you wondered what the older generation was hiding when they spoke Yiddish in front of di kinder? Did you know that 'glitch' is a Yiddish word, but 'kitsch' is not? Have you tried to spell 'tchotchkes'? Have you noticed all the Yiddish words that are part of colloquial English? This book, a compendium of useful, and sometimes off-color, words and phrases and how to use them to spice up your English conversations, explores these and many other questions. Although it may seem similar to other books on the Yiddish language which are lexicons of Yiddish words and phrases transliterated into the Latin alphabet and translated into English, Talking Dirty - inYiddish? differs from them in that it goes beyond being a listing of words and phrases with their translations. Each phrase or word is followed by humorous examples of how to use them in English conversation. The introductory chapters and numerous sidebars contain trivia, little known facts, history, and background on Judaism and the Jewish people and their languages and culture, including Yiddish literature, music, theater, and movies. Rated X by the author's parents and PG by her kids.
