Four: (1) The response to your post mocking you for such a lame bash; (2) explaining to Barry what "schmegegy" meant; (3) explaining to Meow13 that Yiddish words could be spelled many ways; and (4) this one, correcting your "3 post [sic] responding to the comment," since only one of my posts was actually in response to the comment, and that was the same one in which I pointed out that it was wimpy. > The use of examples to define subtle differences in words > is often hilarious.

"Shtunk," "shmuck," and "putz" would also be appropriate, as would "zhlub" and "shmendrik."
