Many Yiddish terms have entered the English language, describing character or emotion (usually displeasure) that have no ready equivalent, such as klutz, kvetch, shmoose, or kibbitz. Yiddish as a language grew out of Medieval German and Hebrew, and spread through Eastern Europe among Ashkenazi Jews. With the worldwide spread of Jewry in many countries, Yiddish plays two roles: as a language unto itself, and as a \"lending\" language for terms and attitudes about business, sexuality, or human relations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editor, Sasha Newborn, lived in New York City for several years, and has been a small publisher (Mudborn Press, Bandanna Books, Beta Books) for forty years, now living in Santa Barbara.
