词汇 | schmuck |
词源 | schmuck. One wouldn’t think schmuck is an obscene word, judging by its common use in America. Schmuck is Yiddish for “penis,” deriving somehow from a German word meaning “or- nament,” and has come to mean a stupid, obnoxious person, of whom there are apparently enough to make schmuck one of the best-known Yiddish expressions. |
