Yentagon

Your local Jewish community services building. Etymology: Yiddish word: Yenta (n./v. A gossip, or busybody), AND Pentagon: n. That big building in DC.

These buildings often contain many bustling agencies with oddly-acronymed names and people busily shuffling about within them.

And, oy, word spreads FAST...

"There's a bake-sale telethon street-fair this Sunday at the Yentagon. You going?"

"Nu, sure. I heard there might even be a fish taouk stand!

Yenta

Just as there are bad witches and good witches, so there are good yentas and bad yentas. A good yenta provides you knowledge and wisdom about everything and a bad yenta is just an annoyance and gossip.

Good yenta - My aunt is such a yenta, I called her about where to find a classy new outfit but at a cheap price and she knew just where to go.

Bad yenta - Don't tell my mother-in-law anything confidential, she'll just spread it around.
