Be sure to pronounce schlub properly. Rush Limbaugh blows it every time. The “sch” is pronounced as a “j” with a little bit of “sch” thrown in

Correct. It is a Yiddish word borrowed from Polish (although the Slavic Poles pronounce it more like “Bob.”).

If I can correctly pronounce Schlamiel, Schlamazel and Pastkunyiak, to say nothing of Trumbahnik, I believe I can handle Schlub.
