Yiddish Word of the Week: Two for One deal...

Okay, because I'm pretty sure I flaked on last week's lesson, you get two words for the price of one!
Bubele (pronoun) meaning: darling, sweetie. This is a term of endearment, not meant to be confused with Bubbe, or grandmother.

and, just because it's always made me giggle a bit...Pupik (noun) meaning: belly button (as well as chicken gizzard). It's especially funny when said with a Transylvanian accent like when my Bubbe says it. Try it...you'll like it!
