Me, helping my daughter with her vocabulary homework. It's sometimes like we're not native speakers.

Nuwanda I personally feel "schmutz" says it best. 8y
RiotMom Schmutz is one of my favorite words. 8y
Yossarian @Nuwanda @RiotMom I never know if the Yiddish/ Yinglish words "count" as English words or not. Is "schmutz" in the dictionary. Or Schnook or Schnorer? 8y

Nuwanda And they are listed as North American terms with Yiddish origins. 8y
tournevis Hey, I'm a native Francophone and I know what schmutz is. It's the same thing as schnoot. 8y
Cinfhen That's hilarious 😂 8y
