Yinglish 

A combination of the words Yiddish and English. It refers to the use of words or expressions in American English that were originally of Yiddish origin. Yinglish is especially common among Jews from Eastern Europe and New Yorkers (because of the high Jewish population). The combination of the two words implies that the words being used are not quite those found in traditional Yiddish, but rather an English version of a traditional Yiddish words, phrase, or saying.
"he's got chutzpah"

In Yiddish, this meant "nerve...presumption-plus-arrogance" (according to the Joy of Yiddish by Leo Rosten) Implying, he's got a lot of nerve to say that crap to me.

In Yinglish, however, chutzpah has come to mean spunk or guts in a more positive sense. Might be used to describe someone who dared to be brave enough to do something.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
