A feeling of being in a crowd of mostly Jewish people. Used lightheartedly to acknowledge that a particular location is favored by Jews.
This is not to be confused with heebie-jeebies, except to the extent that such confusion enhances the perceived funniness.

slang for Jew, short for Hebrew (descended from Habiri, the old philistine word for Hebrew). Popularized in "The Life of Brian" by Monty Python
"I'm a jew! I'm a yid, a heebie, a hook-nose, a Red Sea pedestrian! I'm Kosher momma, and I'm proud of it!"

heebie-jeebies is a condition of extreme nervousness caused by fear, worry, strain, etc.; the jitters; the willies (usually preceded by something of the following):
1. Being alone in the dark gives me the heebie-jeebies.
2 The speech therapist said she got the heebie-jeebies.
3 How can you have the heebie-jeebies for Mr. Boggles-worth? Look at him.
4 A ghost touched me in my sleep and I got the rite heebie-jeebies.
5 Don't start talking about aunt Doreen - she gives me such the heebie-jeebies.
6 I don't mind most insects, but spiders really give me the heebie-jeebies.
7 Seeing a spider, even on the TV, always gives me the heebie-jeebies.
8 For a code-quality addict like myself, this combination drastically reduces the heebie-jeebies and allows me to get to what I like doing best: writing bullet-proof software.
Origin
Said to be in the 1920's
