Karaite

One who is a Jew who subscribes only to the Tanakh ("Old Testament"), and to few or none of the various Talmudim, midrashim, gemerot, or other Pharisaical additions to the Jewish Scriptures.
Karaites will subscribe only to the various Pharisaical additions to Tanakh as optional and as long as they don't contradict or otherwise go against Tanakh.

TS:NE

“Too short: need elaboration”. Alternative: “TS:NC”—“Too short: need clarification”.
“Pakistan:India is Palestine:Israel.

“ TS:NE (Too short: need elaboration): n other words, Pakistan is occupied India which the British government had no business partitioning—just like it had no business dividing “Mandatory Palestine” when Israel had a millennia-long presence of Jews.”

Caffeine drip

A literal IV drip filled with caffeine. Apparently, a caffeine drip is not a joke.
I myself can't quit caffeine. I was in withdrawal so badly during surgery that I could not hold down even water as much. They literally had to hook me up to a caffeine drip. The drip rate was two hours instead of one hour because the nurse did not want to blow out my vein.

Yeshu

Variant of "Yeshua" or "Yushke" used in Hebrew- or Yiddish-speaking and other Jewish communities. Sometimes derogatory, "Yeshu" is usually just used by Non-Messianic Jews who just don't know better.
The derogatory use of "Yeshu" is an acronym to refer specifically to the Messianic Jewish (Christian) and historical figure Yeshua in terms of "Yemach shemo uv'zichrono"-- literally, "May his name and memory be wiped out."

Hell on wheels

Figurative for a hard-driven person with a mean streak.
An infamous nun in the Seton Keough community in Baltimore County, Maryland was actually called "Hell on Wheels"-- because of her name (Sister Helen Mercedes, which was obviously to pun) and her reputation for cruelty toward students at Seton Keough High School (which was two separate schools while "Hell on Wheels" was there).

Novak

A Slavic and Ashkenazic Jewish surname meaning "new" (e.g., "Novy"), "Nov-ak" could also be a play on "Nov akh" or "frutiful brother" (Hebrew).
Bearers of the "Novak" surname include actress Kim Novak (who took "Novak" as her stagename), columnist and cancer victim Robert Novak, the psychotic astronaut and honorably-discharged Navy servicewoman Lisa Nowak, and Marysia "Maria" Novakova Rusnakova (1855-c. 1907) -- who was married to Jakub Rusnak (a member of the late Kosice, Slovakia Jewish Rusnaks) and was the paternal grandmother of Sgt. and Veterans of Foreign Wars Commander Carl Stephen Rusnak (January 2, 1922 - November 7, 1999; US Army, WW2, European Theater, honorably discharged after the war). By the way, Maria's relative Leopold Novak was an early victim of the Holocaust in then-Czechoslovakian Zlata Idka: he was murdered in a then-Aranydka mine in 1936.

Froy

Yiddish equivalent to German "Frau"- "woman".
That meshugah froy has chutzpah: she's no good Jewish girl. She's a shiske corva.
