Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jewish words are creeping into our vocabulary, not least because they are constantly used by comedians, actors and writers. Maureen Lipman, Jacky Mason, Howard Jacobson. But the fascination with these words is very widespread partly because of their effectiveness and vivacity in speech. Each chapter of this book focuses on just one word. The chapters are entertaining, short but also incredibly well informed (based on sounds knowledge and scholarship).
