LJ Idol: Home Game - Bupkis

[bonnie_rocks]

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 :)

WAIT WHAT? IT MEANS GOAT SHIT?

[bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com]

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?

[bonnie-rocks.livejournal.com]

Gay cocken oyfen yom translates to Go shit in the ocean! It's a really big insult. :)

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.
