Mutter sounds rather german but is also a yiddish word, although seldom used.
mommeh is the word often used.
My mother = מיין מאמע

Not mine, but my husbands: vice versa.
He thought it was an Aramic Gemara term.

It is Yiddish, but I remember watching AGT and being shocked when Howard Stern said the word “tuchus”.

This is awesome!!!
I totally agree about: dais; kudos; finagle; verbatim
Not quite yiddish, but I've always said that "brethren" is a Jewish word. Have you ever heard it in non-Jewish context, or outside of Jewish songs??

I love this!
My friend likes to say that her favorite Yiddish words are far fetched and far flung

Tuchus has become a common English word. I've heard the word used in many TV shows & movies.

It's the bottom part (drum stick and the other part attached to it) of a chicken. |
That's interesting. I always assumed pulka is NOT Hungarian . My Hungarian family never used that word, and my not Hungarian in laws I think say pulka.

Delicatessen is obviously a Yiddish word. It has the word "essen" in it.
