obviously, many of these were borrowed from Yiddish
...as in "It's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide!"
P.S. "Potrzebie bounces." Is there perhaps a word in, say, Polish, pronounced something like "po-CHEB-yuh" maybe, that means "ball" or "rubber" or "counterfeit check" or something, which makes the statement true?

Potrzebie, pronounced much as you suggest, doc, is Polish for need. I have conflicting notes in my JDM® as to whether it's the accusative of the noun or some form of the verb.
