strike down this unconstitutional dreck of law."Dreck" is such an expressive word. It sounds like what it is. (For those not familiar with Yiddish, it is a synonym for excrement, but far more expressive.)

Actually, "Dreck" is a German word. In Yiddish it is a loanword from German.

Thanks for the explanation. I am among those who were unfamiliar with the origins of the word. I just grew up knowing that "dreck" was pretty much the bottom of the barrel. As you noted, it is a VERY expressive word and I use it as it applies to . . . . . well, DRECK, such as CFR.
