Word For The Day, April 24, 2015 -SCHLEMIEL
;
In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day". SCHLEMIEL
hear it pronounced
Noun
an awkward and unlucky person for whom things never turn out right.
Origin: 1890-95; < Yiddish shlemil < Hebrew shəlumīʾēl Shelumiel, a Biblical and Talmudic figure, one of the Judges. Specific historical references are unclear. In contemporary Hebrew, to do something in Shelumielesque fashion means so inept as to be destined hopelessly to fail.

Hillary is such a hippy schlemiel
Her RWC brought the press to heel
Behind the absurd
Conspiracy word
So that Bubba kept the presidential seal.

A schlemiel is the dolt that spills his soup.
A schlimazel is the poor sap that is always getting soup dumped on him.
