Interesting. Certainly, etymologically Yiddish and Hebrew words can be acquired second-hand, from completely non-Jewish sources: Cockney, for example, is known for having incorporated a good deal of Yiddish. (I recall being startled when hearing Dave Swarbrick, the Fairport Convention fiddler, use the phrase "tsuris and angst".)

I have a quibble with bits of this: I had to answer the question about my pronunciation of "orange" as "Don't Know", when in fact my answer was "Neither". My first syllable doesn't rhyme with "ore" or "are".
