Of shleps shnorrers, shlemieis what a shnorrer is, 1 thought so. Well, a shnotrer is a bum; a resourcefulness in ralsing money; a panhandler with chutzpah. (There is a atory about the ahnorrer who got a rich man out of bed at 6:50 a.m. to ask for money. When the victim complained about the early hour, the shnorrer replied — “Listen, don’t tell me how to run my business.”) And what's the polnt of this little exercise? Easy.. The Canadian Press, style arbiter for’ Canadian newspapers, radio stations and television outlets, has taken cognizance of the Yiddish worda enriching our language. . . Therefore, CP (as we like to call it) has produced a style . sheet devoted to currently popular “Yiddish expressions, — Here are a few that showed up: ‘Chutzpah — From a Hebrew word for insolence or audacity. But it's the kind of breathless audacity displayed by the man who, after killing his parents, pleads for clemency on the grounds he is an orphan, BORN LOSER Shlemiel — A foolish, naive or clumsy person; a born loser -and first cousin to that other chronically unlucky fellow, the shlimazl. In short, a shlemiel is one who is always spilling hot soup — down the neck of the shlimazl. drag, carry, stall, move slowly. as. in . “She. must. have. abl through a dazen stores.” As a noun, it means a sponger, a free-loader or an unkempt : Mavin — An or con- nolsseur, as in “When it comes to the Group of Seven, she’s a mavin.” It can be used sar- castically -— “Thank you, our. resident mavin."' Mazel tov — Literally, it means good luck. However, in practice it means congratulations or thank God. Use it on happy occasions, but don’t say it to anyone about to face some unpleasantness — unless you really mean “just what you deserve.” Yenta — Possibly. from the Italian for gentle. If 0, some yenta must have given the word a had name because nowadays it means a shrew or gossipy woman, as in “Wow! Does that yenta ever bend your ear!” Kibit2 — From the German, meaning either a spectator at a card game or the noisy, inquisitive bird called the lapwing. The Yiddish word means to watch and comment or to give unsought advice, as in “how can I con- centrate when you keep &ibit- eng?" an . USED FOR TOASTS L'chayim — It means To Life! and is said with raised glass, Equivalent toasts in English would be Your Health! or Cheers! Shiksa — A nou-Jewlsh womari usually young, but sometimes used in reference to a Jewish woman who doesn't follow Jewish laws and custome, days of mourning Shiva — Seven observed by family and friends who “sit shiva” in the home of the Geceased beginning. after the funeral. ; . news agency sald today, The agency said an electrician Paye 2, The Herald, Friday, April 27,1984 |.
