>It's amazing the amount of Yiddish we, even in England, speak regularly: "it's a bit of a schlepp", "he's a schmo/schlemeil", et al (forgive spelling). I love it. Many a put-down expression.

Its schlemiel and schlemazel. The first one is the waiter that drops the soup on the customer's lap. The second one is the dropee.
