What you get when you potchkee around.


Ever since the workshop with Fred Fenster,
my class has started using Yiddish to express our discontent with our projects.
Following this trend, I can say without hesitation that my final project is becoming
completely ongepotchket and it can gey in drert via tsybilla for all I care.


For those who are not fluent:

Ongepotchket: AWN-ge-potch-key.
Slapped together or assembled without form or sense. Gaudy and overdone.

Gey en drert via tsybilla: gay-in-DRERT-vee-a-SIB-il-ah.
Literally: Go in the dirt like an onion. An insult.
