Yiddish Word of the Day
schlemiel \shluh-MEEL\ noun: an unlucky bungler : chump
I LOOOOVE Yiddish words. I totally wish I were Jewish sometimes so people wouldn't look at me funny when I say, "Would you look at this farkakte filing cabinet!" or "Ugh, I ate so much I could plotz!" or "Oy, I had to schlep this dirty old box all the way down the hall and I got schmutz all over my shmata!"... I could go on for hours.
Wow, A-Dub. Your grasp of Yiddish is rather impressive. Have you been to this website yet? You might be able to add a few more to your arsenal. Mazel tov!

they're relevance to the rest of the theme song (or the show for that matter) remains a mystery to which few are privy (of which I'm not)
