Schmegoogle:n. : a person so insignificant that if you Google his name, nothing comes up.

Schmegoogle: Yiddish Words for Modern Times is a hilariously useful lexicon of neologisms that capture the flavor of life as we live it today.

This clever book introduces more than 200 new terms rooted in real Yiddish, accompanied funny use-it-in-a-sentence examples and entertaining etymology.

• Yiddish has long enriched English language slang.
• Covers subjects including technology, family, dating, anxiety, insults and more
• All terms are a unique blend of classic Yiddish with modern topics

In this fast-changing modern world experienced online and through apps, of foodies, legal weed, and shifting social constructs, our need for the expressive wonders of Yiddish has never been greater.

Bothered by that unanswered drift of e-mail piling up (e-charazi), stuffed by food or worry (gifilted), feeling like the dating app sends in only clowns (a zhlub magnet)? Schmegoogle is here to help.

• Hilarious useful Yiddish neologisms for the 21st century
• Makes a great gift for Jewish holidays or anyone who loves Jewish humor, as well as language nerds.
• Perfect for display on the coffee table to crack open anytime
• Add it to the shelf with books like Yiddish with Dick and Jane by Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman, Born to Kvetch: Yiddish Language and Culture in All of Its Moods by Michael Wex, and Yiddish with George and Laura by Ellis Weiner, Barbara Davilman.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Funny

For those growing up hearing Yiddish expressions (And even those not hearing Yiddish expressions)., the updated versions are really cute. I enjoyed the explanation for “Cashew”- half Catholic, half Jewish., as it describes a good portion of my family.

Books like this make it easier to explain Jewish culture and idioms to non-Jews, converts and those who inter-marry.

3.0 out of 5 stars Schmutz.
Reviewed in the United States on October 26, 2020
I was provided an advanced copy of this book by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is another novelty joke "dictionary" with an overall "theme" of one specific culture. It's well-written in terms of having given some actual thought to the lexicography of the book and the etymology of its contents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, fun book
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020
I loved this book. It’s funny and well-written. The entries are short and contain the original Yiddish words transliterated, along with an explanation of the new term. My only complaint is that the book was too short, because it was such a mekhaya (pleasure) to read. I leave it to author Daniel Klein to come up with a Yiddish word for the pleasure of reading e-books.
Disclosure: I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley for review purposes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Schmegoogle
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2021
Schmegoogle by Daniel Klein is a free NetGalley ebook that I read in late September.

This is chaptered loosely by the general theme of a Yiddish term and how it can be readapted to be used in modern parlance. It's very much a joke book that a Catskills yutz would think up, but with eye-catching text to sustain your attention.
