I never knew anybody who spoke only in Yiddish. And part of the reason is because there's the words on this list are very specific. You know how there's some words in some languages that are just so good and so specific about that they can't translate? That's why Americans were just English speakers use Yiddish words sometimes Because they're just so good. They're so specific about one idea, one concept that an English word wouldn't do the trick.
Comedian Sebastian Marx returns to the podcast in order to talk about Yiddish words which have found their way into the English language, including common words like bagel, glitch and schmooze and plenty more.
