Ok, can I show this thread to dh to finally prove to him that no, my family did not make all of these words up, and his family is just missing half of the heimishe vocabulary? Or is that against Imamother t.o.s.?

I heard my 2.5 year old singing this recently. I have no idea where she picked it up!

Now will (mostly) everyone kindly go back & put translations of your words for us Amerikanisher? (And thanks to the ones who did provide!)

Some words I know but many leave me scratching my head (which I can't find the emoji for!)

I don’t use Yoish yunchy since it was never kart of my vocabulary.
Libavhchet Yiddish hardly uses any English words.

I’m not even 30 yet.

Almost all of those words are part of regular vocabulary of Yiddish speakers. Not sure why she thinks other chassidim don't use them. They are all part of the regular satmar yiddish vocab. Maybe our accent is different, but the words are there. Didn't know the Russian word.

Gosh. My IL use it. I thought it was a family word. Maybe it is. Who are you???

Oh my! I was sure no one would know that. I'm still not sure if it was a real thing. Maybe we are related.
