Product Information

You don't have to be Jewish to get back at the shmendriks of the world! Yiddish - the most colourful language in the history of mankind. What other language gives you a whole dictionary of ways to tell someone to drop dead? That schmuck, for instance, who got promoted over you? He should be transformed into a chandelier, to hang by day and to burn by night. In these endlessly entertaining pages, you will find the perfect insult for every occasion, from the short and sweet (A plague on you - a finsteren yor) to the whole megillah (He should marry the daughter of the Angel of Death - khasene hobn zol er mit di malekh hamoves tokhter). Complete with hundreds of the most creative curses for the putzes and kvetchers of the world, together with the fascinating background of their origins and much Jewish wisdom born of suffering over the centuries, this is an indispensable guide for Jews and Gentiles alike. When it comes to cursing someone who sorely needs it, may you never be at a loss for words again. After Amo, Amas, Amat it's time to enjoy the joys of Yiddish! This work is very funny, and scholarly too. If you don't buy this book, may a soft balcony fall on your head! It contains all the wisdom (and curses!) born of the Jewish experience over thousands of years.
