Chutzpah - Leo Rosten, Joys of Yiddish: "Gall, brazen nerve, effrontery, incredible 'guts'; presumption plus arrogance such as no other word, and no other language, can do justice to. The classic definition of chutzpa is, of course, this: Chutzpa is that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan." https://jel.jewish-languages.org/words/119

Yiddish Word of the Day!
Yarmulke (properly pronounced YAHR-mul-keh, but often shortened to YAH-mi-koh, YAH-mi-keh, or YAH-mi-kee) is the common Yiddish word for the head covering worn by Jewish males.
But there’s a deeper meaning. According to many, yarmulke is a contraction of the Aramaic words, yarei malka, “awe of the King,” referring to G‑d, King of the Universe. (https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3936884/jewish/What-Does-Yarmulke-Mean.htm)

Treyf (sometimes spelled treif or treyfe)
Treyf is a Yiddish word used for something that’s not kosher. The word treyf is derived from the Hebrew word treifah, which appears several times in the Bible and means “flesh torn by beasts.” The Torah prohibits eating flesh torn by beasts, and so the word treifah came to stand in for all forbidden foods. A ham and cheese sandwich? Very treyf. (https://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/treyf/)

Bubkus: A Yiddish word which means “nothing”, “worthless”
Bupkis is literally translated as “beans” and is derived from a Slavic word for “goat droppings.”
However just to make things confusing, it’s not used as a reference to something edible (beans), or something inedible (goat droppings), but as something worthless (a bean isn’t worth much, and goat droppings even less).
