rachmones (rahch-MUN-ness) - Compassion, fellow feeling, empathy, pity. "The Rachmones" would also make a very nice name for a sensitive Yiddish punk rock group.

schmo (shmo) - A hapless sucker, an ordinary jerk.
Slightly pejorative, but it could be worse (e.g., could be putz or schmuck).
The time change 😵💫😫😵💫😫😵💫😫😵💫

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.

Zaftig is one of those semi-elusive words that refuses to be translated easily into the English language. Yiddish in origin, it is a way to call a woman plump, curvy, even luscious, but without a negative sting or rude connotation.

alter kocker (Oll-ter KAt-ker) -

Finished Megan Miranda‘s latest book, and it ties with All the Missing Girls as one of my favorites of hers. It got pretty twisty at the end, and I love when she leaves parts of an ending open to reader interpretation.
