To clean. Putzen. A schmuck. Putz. Schmuck. Jewelry.
Such nice German words become mean words in English (nee Yiddish)
Let's figure out why.
Probably because Jewelry is Gaudy and Cleaning is for Galumphs.
You know the Galumph? It's very friendly. Looks kind of like a hippopotamus.
You know how many people have met a Galumph? Precisely zero. I know this number is accurate to 1000th decimal point. And how, you may ask, can I be so sure? Because I made it up. You can be one hundred percent sure of facts that you make up. Well, almost. There's a small chance that I'm wrong. It's out there in the 1001st decimal place.
You know, come to think of it, I think my cousin met a Galumph. Never trust me before ... well, ever. I was going to say something about coffee, but that's cliche and irrelevant. I like making things up.
