  1. Can someone give me a correct definition of this term.

    Thanks

  2. I know you guys are watching OLN tour coverage. Bob R. gave a less that satisfying definition.

    Anyone? ? ?

    As far as I know, Bob R *invented* the word schmenge, so he gets defining rights. He can use it however he wants and it won't be wrong.

    Shmenge is a Yiddish word, which I'm sure Bobke appropriated. It means "fool" (Yiddish has about as many words for "fool" as the Eskimos have for "snow"😉. Fans of Second City TV will also remember that John Candy and Eugene Levy used to perform skits as the "Shmenge Brothers", Yosh and Stan, "the finest Leutonian polka stars in the history of the world." (And a good trivia question would be "where is Leutonia?"😉

    A shmenge fest is a party with a bunch of fools. Alcohol is often involved.
