Old, undefined Yiddish expression popularized by Mike Myers' character "Linda Richman" on Saturday Night Live in the 1990's. For those not
in the know, the Yiddish language is a combination of German and Hebrew dialects developed between the ninth and 12th centuries and was commonly used by Eastern European immigrants in the United States in the early part of the 20th Century, but has been considered a dying language. For those also not in the know, Mike Myers based the character "Linda Richman" on his real life mother-in-law of the same name.
