To wish somebody a happy Passover in Yiddish, you would say Gut Yontiff — Pronounced “Guht YON-tiff,” this traditional Ashkenazi expression is a Yiddishized version of the greeting “Good Yom Tov” It can be used on Passover or any of the major holidays.

schmo (shmo) - A hapless sucker, an ordinary jerk.
Slightly pejorative, but it could be worse (e.g., could be putz or schmuck).

“The party was perfect! Kids dancing, connections between old friends and new, great finger foods, so much joy - it was a real HAIMISHA affair!”
The word Haimisha comes from a Yiddish word, meaning familiar and homey.

ibbledick (IB-bl-dick) - Literally, "nauseated,"
"barfy." Vaguely unwell, out of sorts. N.B.: There is no Yiddish phrase for feeling "in sorts" Then again, there is no English phrase for it either, so never mind.
