In Yiddish, "mishegas" (also spelled "mishigas" or "mishugas") refers to craziness, silliness, or foolishness. It can also refer to a situation or behavior that is irrational or absurd. The term is often used humorously to describe something that is chaotic or nonsensical.

Daily truth ? #weirdwordwednesday

Me, helping my daughter with her vocabulary homework. It's sometimes like we're not native speakers.

Nuwanda I personally feel "schmutz" says it best. 7y

RiotMom Schmutz is one of my favorite words. 7y

Yossarian @Nuwanda @RiotMom I never know if the Yiddish/ Yinglish words "count" as English words or not. Is "schmutz" in the dictionary. Or Schnook or Schnorer? 7y

Nuwanda @Yossarian They at least seem to be included in official online dictionaries like Merriam-Webster. 7y

Nuwanda And they are listed as North American terms with Yiddish origins. 7y

tournevis Hey, I'm a native Francophone and I know what schmutz is. It's the same thing as schnoot. 7y

Cinfhen That's hilarious 😂 7y
