Hey Jordan here from BimBam
today we're here with the actress of a thousand accents
Amy Walker
she does Aussie, she does British, she does French,
and one thing she's never done is Yiddish
so we thought we would teach her some
Yiddish slang
Let's do this.
What's the Yiddish word for a clumsy person
Is it a Zayde, Zadie, Zadie
A Klutz, is that it? Klutz or a Mensch
mensch
it's a .......
klutz
I knew that one
because I sometimes am a klutz
I think most people wouldn't know that
that word has a Yiddish root. No. No
what's the Yiddish word
for complaining especially when whiny complaining
is it kvelling, kvelling good
kvetching kvetching nice or meschuganah
it is.......
kvetching
Always kvetching, kvetching that it's important to get the hands in
kvetching kvetching
The opposite of kvetch is to glow with pride over someone or two
or to try these out
kvell, nosh, putz
what do you think?
its........
kvell
your heart kvell you're kvelling, svells with with the kvells
my Jordan scored good on his tests I'm kvelling over him
I'll leave the accents to you clearly
okay so if you have a lot of confidence, a lot of nerve
you have, is it cajones, cajones, chutzpah good or schmuck
it is.......
chutzpah
it's like you get to cough up the hairball and spit it out as the same word
it's like one-stop shopping if you want to go if you're not for brevity you can
say chutzpadik somebody who's full of chutzpah is a chutzpadik, chutzpadik
this is a big thing, it's a big thing. a lot of this.
It's like you're holding onto the word, I dig it (earthy)
Okay um how do you make small talk in Yiddish?
do you schmooze, schmear or schlep?
it is........
the schmooze
a lot of schmoozing, we're in, we're here filming in LA
there's a lot of schmoozing in this town
It's a schmoozy town
So how would you say scandal in Yiddish?
a Schmatte, schmatte good schmatte
a shonda, a tchotschke
it is........
a shonda
Shonda, Shonda, mm-hmm like Shonda Rhimes
Her name is scandal?!
I'm just saying. That's amazing. I'm just saying
maybe she maybe there's a Yiddish background
It's like when you're born to play do something, create a world
it was preordained. I love it.
Okay, now we've got in Yiddish
let's see what haven't I done.
In Yiddish, when you sit on your bottom
you're on your....
bissel, bubbe, bubbe, bubbe,
it's like if you have a bubbe butt
or your tuchas, tuchas again with the chhhh tuchas
if you didn't get all the flem out last time, there might be a little more
it is the tuchas
I hope you're not sitting on your bubbe, that's your grandmother
oh okay
so it's not like bubble butt. bubble butt didn't come from this. no no
bubbe is actually your grandmother, grandmother
all right everybody get off your tuchas and visit Amy's channel while you're here
is it Amy Walker? Amy Walker Channel?
That's a shonda. Oh, oy gevalt. it's a shonda
please what is the channel
Amiablewalker, Amy Walker will get you there
Perfect. Zie Gezunt, zie gezunt. zie gezunt.
is this health? what does that mean? good health?
it means goodbye, goodbye, good health
zie gezunt
