    CatT I can't follow the rules

    Says You (NPR language/vocab quiz show) did a segment called this a few weeks back. the two I recall were "farfetched" and "ladle". fair nuff.

    bit of googling adds "mish-mash", "kerfuffle", and "kibosh".

    any others? i'm surprised i can't find a full page of these.

    (note: not talking about faux-yiddish COINAGES like "schmo" and "ishkabibble" here; i mean actual latin/greek/indo-euro words simply MISTAKEN for yiddish.)
