Yiddishism en · NOUN
Etymology
From Yiddish + -ism.
Meanings
-
(rhetoric) A word or phrase that is characteristically Yiddish but used in another language.
Is this term indeed derived from Tanach or other holy books? Or is it just a nonsensical "Yiddishism" that kind of made it through the generations from grandmothers to their kids?
