For this I paid "Good Money": The Yiddish Benjie and Yetta reader for shlemiels (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781522961024)

The Yiddish speaking immigrant brought to America a language rich in satire, self effacing humor, and sarcasm. Yiddish was more than just a language, it was also an attitude. It was in this spirit that a mixture of Yiddish and English know as Yinglish developed and was passed on to the next generation. Words like shlock, Marvin, and shmooz.This book contains 155 of the most important Yiddish and Yinglish words and phrases still commonly spoken among Jews, each illustrated with a cartoon drawing . You'll note that some words are now part of the wider American lexicon. Many of these words can be found in an English language dictionary and are well-known. We hope you enjoy this book and pass it on to anyone who could use a little Yiddish in their life.
