Every so often I feel like I should know more yiddish than I do. At present this is the extent of the yiddish I know:
Tuchis/tush- Butt (one's behind)
Schpilchis- excess energy, like ants in your pants
Shmie/smie- to look around, to browse
Milchik- dairy
Flieschic- meat
Parve- neither meat nor dairy.
and that's all.

Surely you must know words like schlep and stuff that have become common usage. I bet you have a secret mental storehouse of Yiddish that you had no idea existed.
So true. But I can not string a coherent sentance together.
