Wow, the things you learn while reading letterbox chat. I did know
what "jewels" referred to but didn't know "schmuck" meant the same
thing. Thanks for the english/yiddish lesson. I will remember
those terms in the future. I bet Miss Prisspot is blushing now.

Better still show me ANYWHERE on the internet that says that the Yiddish
def. is a "certain male part"

Perhaps you mean, ahem, "jewels"? ;-) The word in question is
Yiddish for a certain male part, and is not a word to be used in
polite company as I quickly learned one day by some Jewish relatives
many years ago. Good thing they had a sense of humor.

Fine. Until now I had never heard it used as that as most that I know.
My boss, a female, use to call one of our old employees a .. Not
knowing that it was a slang term for the female parts. I stand
