schmaltz

from Yiddish, shmalts, meaning rendered (melted) animal fat; usually chicken fat. Schmaltz is used to make matzo balls.

figuratively: a work of art that is excessively sentimental, sappy or cheesy.

That old Jewish guy at the next table is spreading schmaltz on his bread. It's so grody!

Gone With the Wind?! Why would you want to see that piece of 1930's schmaltz? Let's rent AVP instead!

Pain Schmain

Appending 'Schmain' to 'Pain' indicates complete nonchalance on the behalf of the utterer with regard to the promised, expected or forthcoming pain.

The idea being expressed is that Pain will affect him no more than Schmain would. There is no such thing as Schmain.

Macduff: You are entering a world of pain, boy.
Macbeth: Pain Schmain.

schmacting

A person who is a bad actor, actor who indicates, over-the-top, could potentially be overacting to make moments larger than they honestly feel about them.

A shitty acting performance, or a schmuck who is unsuccessfully trying to act

Schmuck + acting = schmacting

The actor had no connection to the work, it was obvious he was schmacting.

Watching that scene was so painful, the actor clearly had no idea how they truly felt and was indicating an emotion, clearly a very bad case of schmacting.

You think that was a performance? Acting, schmacting.
