What do you call a female nebbish?

Nebbish is an American word, not a Hebrew or Yiddish one. They pronounce it that way because of the difficulty in enunciating the "kh" sound. The original word is "nebbikh", a Yiddish word meaning "pitiable"; originating in the Hebrew "navokh" which means confused. I don't think the Yiddish colloquialism has a female counterpart.

What does word hawser mean in yiddish?

Maybe I missed it, but I've never heard a word in Yiddish that might berepresented as "hawser" in English transliteration.Allow me to speculate that you may be referring to "KHA-zair" or "KHA-zer".That's a word borrowed from the Hebrew "kha-ZEER", and often pops upin Yiddish slang.The word denotes a species of animal. It appears in the Torah, as an exampleof a creature that carries one of the signs/qualifications of kosher animals, butlacks others, and so is not permitted as a food source. In English Bible translation,that word is rendered as "pig".
