LJ Idol: Home Game - Bupkis

Bupkis: One of my favorite Yiddish words. Figuratively, it means nothing. Literally, it means goat shit or tiny balls of crap.

You should thank me for not being able to find a picture of goat shit to post here :)

Posted for [livejournal.com profile] therealljidol Home Game. I've got nothing.

WAIT WHAT? IT MEANS GOAT SHIT?

[identity profile] bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com 2011-12-09 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
OMG YES!

"Often translated as meaning small round fecal pellets, referring to the shape of goat droppings. A colorful usage, though more emphatic expression (in Yiddish more so than in English) is 'Bupkis mit Kuduchas' (באָבקעס מיט קודוצ׳ה), translating roughly to 'shivering shit balls'"

ok, I'm not going to bite, but what does this phrase mean?

[identity profile] bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com 2011-12-10 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Gay cocken oyfen yom translates to Go shit in the ocean! It's a really big insult. :)

I am, indeed, thankful! Though someone did post a pic of goats perched in a tree that I intend to use as a screensaver one day.

Heeeee! Goats up a tree is so ridiculous and awesome at the same time :)

Great!! I just paid 40 dollars for a little bottle of oil, that must have been through the goats intestines...Blah. But as I have very dry wild hair if I don't use something I look like the wild woman of Borneo.

Just hope they filtered it well.

No wucken furries is my favourite.

Swiftly followed by 'Bums' which covers a multitude of sins.
