Dinner for Schmucks Review
This video recaps the reviews on Dinner for Schmucks, which opens July 30, 2010 in the US.
What Is a Shmuck?
Schmuck is a Yiddish (Jewish) word that can mean different things depending on how it is used. Its nicest use is to mean someone who does something stupid like wear socks that don't match. This type of shmuck is a dumb shmuck.http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html http://www.thefreedictionary.com/Yiddish
Besides being dumb, a person can be called a schmuck because he is nosy and selfish -- or downright obnoxious or manipulative. Shmucks vary from pesky at best to dangerous at worst.http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html
Schmucky behavior can also be either deliberate or unintentional. The dumb shmuck is at least not trying to be a shmuck. The manipulative shmuck really tries to earn the title.http://www.schmucku.com/definition.html
