Yiddish words and phrases used by English speakers

This is a list of words and phrases used by speakers whose English has been heavily influenced by Yiddish, especially speakers of Yinglish. Unlike most of the words in the list of English words of Yiddish origin, these words have not been assimilated into English and are unlikely to be understood by English speakers who do not have substantial Yiddish influence. Leo Rosten's book, The Joys of Yiddish, explains these words (and many more) in detail.
