Ferschlugginer
| from Fancyclopedia 2 ca. 1959 |
| A Mad-word; "a sort of clean dirty word". From Yiddish "far-schlogner", which we may translate "all beat up". from Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement ca. 1960: Alternatively Furschlugginer. A second possible derivation would consider it a portmanteau-wor from Ferschimmelt (moldy) and meschugginer (insane). |
