Description

"This is the Yiddish they didn’t teach in Hebrew school. Talk Dirty: Yiddish gives you the lowdown on how to really spit the Hebrew alphabet. With plenty of slang, curses, and idiomatic expressions, this book gives your Yiddish vocabulary a real kick in the toches with entries like the one below:
Yiddish phrase: Groisser potz
Translation: Big shot (obscene)

Expression: Ever since he opened his own business, he thinks he’s a groisser potz
Literal Translation: Ever since he opened his own business, he thinks he has a big penis.
