Theres Even A Chapter About Sex.This Is No Bobe Mayse (Cockandbull Story) From A Khokhem Belayle (Idiot, Literally A 'Sage At Night' When No Ones Looking), But A Serious Yet Fun And Funny Look At A Language That Both Shaped And Was Shaped By Those Who Spoke It. From Tukhes To Goy, Meshugener To Kvetch, Yiddish Words Have Permeated And Transformed English As Well.Through The Idioms, Phrases, Metaphors, And Fascinating History Of This Kvetchfull Tongue, Michael Wex Gives Us A Moving And Inspiring Portrait Of A People, And A Language, In Exile.
