Go here: http://www.yiddishdictionaryonline.com/ & follow instructions for spelling. You should arrive at: nudge (American Jewish) a boring person; a pesty person, a badgering person nudzh noodzh (.) נודזש The Yiddish spelling has 5 letters phonetically corespondent to n, u, d, z, sh. Kol tuv (be well) as they say in the old country.
