Filth/Filthy

(It seems so much more blunt and to the point.)

"That shirt isn't just dirty, it's filthy!"
Or...
"You are covered in filth!"   :tongueout:

Tinfoil
Especially considering they don't really make it out of tin anymore.
& Tincans...
Come to think of it, just about any metal object described with the prefix "tin-"...
With the exception of solder, Because we still use that.

Not in English but: Gulab Jamun (it's an Indian dessert, fried sweet dough in syrup). When I'm in an Indian restaurant I just love saying "Gulab Jamun", "Gulab Jamun".

Has anybody delved into the Yiddish words yet?

Nebbish is a good one, as are Mazal Tov, meshugge, pisher, schmuck, oy vey, kvetch, chutzpah, shtick, plotz, shemozzle, schlock, shmo, schmendrik, schnoz, schlep, shiksa.

The s-words alone are amazing.

In 60's London maybe, not now. Its because people came over from Jamaica and were housed in communal plots, referred to as yards.
