    • Millie is a midwesterner born in 1867, so yeah. She’s very smart, but lacks a lot of common knowledge of the present day.

    • If I walked into my local school and asked a student if they knew about Yiddish, I’d be thrown out/arrested for trespassing.

      But before that, I’d probably have to tell the student not to look it up on their smartphone before answering.

  2. Hey, years of Mel Brooks & Woody Allen movies, even a goy like me knows a little.

    • A Schmuck should be in common lexicon. That Office guy starred in a movie called “Dinner for Schmucks”.

      • There’s a big difference between knowing a word, knowing its meaning, and knowing its origins.
