"Please stop being such a shmulky shlumperdik." (source)

"How did Karl Rove get out of being indicted by Fitzgerald? By going back to the grand jury over and over, changing his story, remembering what he forgot, forgetting what he didn't remember, finding an e-mail he didn't have, having an e-mail he couldn't find — it was the Shlumperdik Defense, and it worked like a charm." (Yiddish with George and Laura by Barbara Davilman and Ellis Weiner)
