I'm....I'm....getting all vaklempt....
talk amongst yourselves....
Vaklempt? kk Hope it's good.
What the hell is vaklempt?
It sounds like an ailment that was named especially for Gus.
Doctor: "Is your Vak Lempt, Mr Ratzenhofer?
Gus: "Nope, I had an extra portion of sauerkraut for dinner, and it seems to have done the trick."
Vaklempt is a Yiddish word for getting "choked up" emotionally. Specifically it's the tight feeling in your throat before you cry.
Well I never! That's the first time I've ever heard that word.
Thank you, GW.
That now makes two Yiddish words that I know.....the other being Schmutter (sp?).
LE -Surely you know others - mazel tov, mavin, putz, bubee, shmooz, shmuck, shmeer, shlep, shiksa, nosh, and chutzpa.

mazel tov......check (silly me)
schmuck..........ditto.
putz..............check (didn't realise it was yiddish)
......and nosh! I thought that was Cockney! That word is used all the time over here, and it just goes to show how certain words just work their way right into common usage.
That's why this place is called able 2 know! I now know more than when I woke up.
Oi vey!
Thanks GW.
Chipmunks roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your balls . . .
Deck us all with Boston Charlie
Walla Walla, Washington and Kalamazoo
Good King Coleslaw looked him out
On his feets uneven . . .
I love the music the best . . .
To the tune of "We three kings"
Paul and John and Ringo Starr
One in a taxi, one in a car
One on a scooter
Blowing his hooter
Smoking a fat cigar
Jingle Bells
Shotgun shells
BBs in the air
Take a shot at old St. Nick
And listen to him swea-ear . . .
Grandma got run over by a reindeer
Walkin' home from our house Christmas Eve
You can say there's no such thing as Santa
As for me and Granpa, we believe . . .
We Three Kings of Orient are
Tried to smoke a loaded cigar
It was loaded
It exploded
We Two Kings...
The night Santa went crazy
The night St. Nick went insane
Realized he'd been gettin' a raw deal
Something finally must have snapped in his brain
Well, the workshop is gone now, he decided to bomb it
Everywhere you'll find pieces of Cupid and Comet
And he tied up his helpers and he held the elves hostage
And he ground up poor Rudolph into reindeer sausage
He got Dancer and Prancer with an old German Luger
And he slashed up Dasher just like Freddy Krueger
And he picked up a flamethrower and he barbequed Blitzen
And he took a big bite and said, "It tastes just like chicken!"
