Yiddish

We'll go out on a limb here, and assume that the question refers not so much to

the upper-class fraternity brother responsible for Freshman pledge orientation as

to the word pronounced "KHAH-zair" or "KHAH-zer", and popularly associated in

some way with Jewish speech.

The origin of that word is Hebrew, found in the Torah in Leviticus 11:7, pronounced

"khah-ZEER", and usually translated "pig". In colloquial "street" usage, it means

exactly that, plus everything that has come to be associated, rightly or wrongly,

with 'pig'.

synagogue = Schul (שול)synagogues = Schulen (שולן)

In Yiddish, "all right" is typically expressed as "ale yidish" (אַלע ייִדיש).

Translation: Plimenik

There is no such Yiddish word. You would just say Schvein Drek.

"Shul" is a Yiddish word that means synagogue, a place of assembly for Jewish worship and prayer. It is used to describe a Jewish communal prayer space and gathering place for religious and social activities.

Here's an attempt:

Married couple are getting ready to go out and meet another couple for a fancy dinner.

Wife has bathed, dried and done her hair, done her nails, put on her gown, finished

her entire make-up, and the husband is still shaving. 20 minutes later, she's pacing

back and forth outside the bedroom and looking at her watch. She pushes the door

open to the bedroom, and he's there in front of the mirror, trying to tie his tie for the

fourteenth time. She doesn't say a word. She just stands there, with her arms folded,

tapping her foot, looking daggers at him, and finally she says "Well l l l l l l ..." ...

starting low and rising as she drags the word out to five times its normal length.

That "Welllll . . . " is the closest I can come to an English translation of "Nu ?"

First of all, you have to understand that many Yiddish terms come from Hebrew ...

(just as many Yiddish terms come from Russian, Polish, and English, among others).

Today, "Klezmer" is considered a Yiddish word. But it's origin is in the Hebrew words
