This being busy crap sucks, it's really cutting into my interweb time.
Aww crap, I thought I had successfully hacked in and changed the Schmucks password. It was nice and Schmuck-Free here for a while...
Schmuck versus putz
Schmuck is a name for someone who is mean, foolish, or inept. Synonyms include jerk and idiot. There is a pejorative connotation to the term. The plural is schmucks.
Putz is even less formal than schmuck. Putz can be either a noun or a verb. As a noun it describes a person as foolish or without value, usually someone who does not contribute to society or a family. The plural is putzes.
As a verb, it is the action of doing things that are time consuming without being worthwhile. In other words, activities that a putz would do.
Even though they don’t seem similar, putz and schmuck share the same meaning in Yiddish. Schmuck comes from shmok meaning *****. And putz comes from putz, which is another word for *****.
These terms are informal and could even be called slang. They should not be used in formal writing.
Lesson of the day brought to you in part by Mike, sponsored by beer.
So tomorrow is going to be a good day I hope. New shoes on the dually, then getting the muffler removed to give me a some what of a hint for what the straight piped system will sound like. Only way it would be perfect would be if I could get the bronco sold. Oh and Tony's on Saturday plus figure-8 races.
Hey Ian... Not sure if you read the sign on the way in, but in order to visit and post in the Michigan Chapter you have to provide beer... to me at least.
