Shonda

Yiddish word meaning "a fool" or "a shame".

A "shonda for the goyim" means to do something shameful, publicly witnessed by non-Jews, thus bringing shame upon Jews in general (because, the theory goes, we are all held accountable for the worst deeds of the worst of us.)
"Eric Cantor is a shonda".
