To be fair, I think we also need to add polyHERSter and polyTHEIRSter to the dictionary. 😀

To wish somebody a happy Passover in Yiddish, you would say Gut Yontiff — Pronounced “Guht YON-tiff,” this traditional Ashkenazi expression is a Yiddishized version of the greeting “Good Yom Tov” It can be used on Passover or any of the major holidays.

I didn't know there was a word for this, but of course there is! 🤩

"Bei Mir Bistu Shein" (Yiddish: בײַ מיר ביסטו שעהן, or Yiddish: בײַ מיר ביסטו שיין)

“To Me You're Beautiful"

Two new to me words from the tagged book. I guessed fribble but had to look up nipcheese.

On a side note, my daughter and I decided to listen to GPS with a British accent yesterday. When we were told to take the “interchange” it was unclear if we were to go left or right. Now I know interchange was left to the freeway and expressway would have been used to go right into town.

The more you know…

This is one I figured out from context clues but I enjoy the definition - "a violent expression"

I did not know until I discovered this word, but I am a morgenmuffel. 🤣
