I had a few Jewish friends back in Chicago, so I know what oy vey, or oy gevalt meant and when it was to be used...
I know one other Jewish word, taught to me by a Rabbinical student...And that word is 'Momser' or 'Mumser' I am not sure of the spelling, but do know its not a word a Rabbinical student should be teaching a sweet young thing, as I was once...cannot remember now why he taught me that word......
