Your list is completely wonderful -- thanks! My mother used "oysegeputst" over the weekend to describe me as a child to my daughter! I'm still laughing! I had a friend who used to use, "Ich loif" -- I'm running -- sarcastically -- as during law school when the professor said we could go out and read extra about the topic of the lecture, she would write down the citations and shake her head saying "Ich loif" -- as if she had time and inclination to go and do extra reading! Thanks again for your Yiddish lexicon!
