Alex,

> "machst dich choizig"
means: you are becoming ridiculous, I think you meant to write:
"machst choizig foon" which means "you make fun of..".
In Czernowitz we were not vulgar, "chass ve-chalila"!
And we would not have used words like "Scheisse".

Yiddish cannot properly be translated into German, or any other
language,
that is why in Czernowitz, even those who knew German very well,
spoke Yiddish, when they wanted to give their expressions a
particular flavor.

Mimi
