schwack'l 

A Yinglish term for a person of Hispanic descent. The word is a combination of the Yiddish word "Schwartze" meaning "black person" and the Yinglish word "Schtick'l" meaning "a little of something." Literally translated, "A little of black."

The word came into popular usage in Miami, Florida in the 1960's by Jews for the mass immigration of Cubans to Miami. It is generally used in a derogatory context.

The Van Schwack Law 

When the explanation for why something is incorrect takes far longer to say then it does to say the incorrect thing. Like when someone like a guy named Van Schwack calls a false equivalency an apples to apples comparison and the explanation takes far longer than one sentence to explain a one sentence mistake.
Van Schwack,"that comparing apples to apples I don't see the false equivalency"

Intelligent people," oh boy that's going to take a while to explain. The Van Schwack Law told me this would happen. "
