“aha! I’ve always wished I could speak Yiddish.”

My mother always told me, “if you can’t say something nice about a person, say it in Yiddish.”

There is no better language on earth for insulting someone. Yiddish combines the gutteral-ness of German with the sibilance of Russian. It’s an inimitable synthesis.
