"...Although if a Jew today were to say to a second Jew about a third Jew, 'He’s a clever yid,' there definitely would be something derogatory about it (the implication being that the third Jew’s cleverness is that of a 'yid' in the gentile sense, — that is, of someone who tries to haggle or outsmart), the sentence 'He’s a kluger yid' could be interpreted only as a genuine compliment."
