“The party was perfect! Kids dancing, connections between old friends and new, great finger foods, so much joy - it was a real HAIMISHA affair!”

The word Haimisha comes from a Yiddish word, meaning familiar and homey.

ibbledick (IB-bl-dick) - Literally, "nauseated,"
"barfy." Vaguely unwell, out of sorts. N.B.: There is no Yiddish phrase for feeling "in sorts" Then again, there is no English phrase for it either, so never mind.
