Arois gevarfen de gelt…

Basically whatever we bought was a waste of money.

Does not translate well into English, but I’ll do the literal and someone can tell us the English equivalent
Ate stinky fish
And was thrown out the city
Gei bise ah pereneh
Not sure how that translates
Klap dee kup in vant
Knock your head on the wall
Ah black maidel
Beautiful girl

My Grandpa would say "how vould you like a bust in dee noz?"
My (American) grandmother would refer to my siblings and me(*) as dee shaineh, dee klaineh, and der mazik.
(I am very uneducated as to when to use dee and der.
And tzu and tzum. As in
Tzu gezunt
Tzum leiben
tzu langeh yohren
If anyone wants to give. A Yiddish lesson. Needs a spinoff...)
* 10 points if you know why I didn't write "l"

A hungry man eats stones - when we whined we were hungry but didn't want to eat anything she offered
If my grandmother had wheels - it's hard to explain this one, it's said when someone starts with what if's... or if only's...
