Elmira Teens with nothing to do !

NoGoodNiks- love that term, though I haven't heard it in years. thanks Bill

We have to recirculate some of these better terms, or they will fall out of use completely! Take a term you like and use it at least once daily. If we all do it, these terms will live again. As they should!

My favs from growing up...

Bubkis — Nothing, but less than nothing if possible.
Feh — It stinks! No good. My Dad had a nursery rhyme with the word feh. Here it is: Tom, Tom the Piper’s son, stole a pig and away he run . . . ”Feh,” said the Rabbi.
Hockin me a chinick — Bothering me. Extremely annoying
Kvetch — Complain, but much more aggravating.
Meshugeneh — a crazy person, technically. But most of the time it's used in a loving way, as in "Mildred, you're husband's a meshugeneh. He bought you the three carat tiara when he should have known tiara's are out of style."
Shlep — Drag, carry or haul, particularly unnecessary things, parcels or baggage, particularly your wife's parcels or baggage- Jewish men are trained from an early age to get used to shlepping.
Shmeckle — Penis
Tuchis — Behind. As in what you sit on.

Raf, I laughed, as I use all of the terms you described, probably daily. That's what comes with growing up with a strong Hasidic community next door.

Hey how is your weather RAF??? Chuck's aunt on the Eastern Shore of VA had quite a bit of snow and high winds. They had snow, then rain, then freezing rain, and then snow again on top. The roads have not been plowed and she has not been out of the house for a few days. My BIL and SIL live in Quakertown PA and have over 2 feet of snow.

Nothing but a dusting in Norfolk... Had a boat load of rain yesterday. Lots of wind too.

You talk the talk, but do you walk the walk? Keeping kosher?
