schwack'l

A Yinglish term for a person of Hispanic descent. The word is a combination of the Yiddish word "Schwartze" meaning "black person" and the Yinglish word "Schtick'l" meaning "a little of something." Literally translated, "A little of black."

The word came into popular usage in Miami, Florida in the 1960's by Jews for the mass immigration of Cubans to Miami. It is generally used in a derogatory context.

Schnacklet

Any kind of food which one eats when one is feeling the beginnings of hunger. often on the smaller end of the size scale, but what it lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quantity. usually leaves the consumer feeling peacefully full after ingestion. however, if one is "starving" one shcnacklet will not be enough to satisfy them. a combination of several schnacklets is required. when you eat a schnacklet, you are considered to be having a schnack.

Van Schwack Theory

The Van Schwack Theory, is the theory that it's very common in conversation that it is much harder and takes far longer to explain why something said is ignorant, then it does to simply say the ignorant thing.
Person 1: My friend is ignorant!
Person 2: What do you mean?
Person 1: Well they said something incredibly stupid sounding last night and it took me almost an hour to fully explain it. Like exponentially longer.
Person 2: Van Schwack.
Person 1: No, it was Kevin! Again!
Person 2: No, I mean the van schwack THEORY. You can say three words that take paragraphs to why it's ignorant. But you're right Kevin says some pretty dumb stuff. What did he say this time?
Person 1: It would take too long to explain...
Person 2: That's The Van Schwack Theory for you.
