This week's theme reminds me to get out one of my all time favorite books, Leo Rosten's The Joys of Yiddish. It may be out of print now, but it is well worth a search.The humor inherent in Yiddish words is delightfully shown in this book. It also has ample examples of usage and a clear guide to pronunciation. Professor Rosten would appreciate this theme and would probably contribute were he only still alive.
