Girl #2: "No you're not!"
Girl #3: "You're gorgeous!"
Girl #4: "Don't say that! You're stunning!"
Girl #5: "You're perfect!"
Girl #1: Aww thanks guys! ... I still think I am though."

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.
I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
