Hocking My Chienick, Yiddish so good it deserves its own post.

This precious term is about a tradition passed down from generation to generation.  According to ancient scrolls it started as "hocking a chienick." But as it went down to me, it is hocking my chienick and loosely translates to:

NAGGING my ass.

See next post for example.

This fuhkoktah program is not letting me edit the meshuganshticken on the right.  I thought this blog was going so well, but kenna hurah--I stayed up hours  into the wee hours of the night trying to fix the "yentah"!  I could only type one letter per 5 minutes.  True.  So why stay up so late? Feh!  I'm a fahtutzzled meshugenah! God help us someone should think I was anything but a writing maven.
