A
small or short mouse-like animal.
Someone who is very quiet and withdrawn and seems to
blend into the woodwork.
Can be used as an endearing phrase or a
put-down, depending on the inflection.
1) I love my little shmousie sized cat; she fits on my lap just perfectly.
2) That shmouse over by the bar
better not ask me to
dance, 'cause I'll just laugh in his
face.
