In Yiddish - Vontzie infused from some Slavic lingo ,
Stalin had a big vonzie.

All of which splendid banter brings me to one of the words I learned from m=
y father z"l:
SCHNORRBUTT
Or this is how he pronounced it. How would you say it? With an "r" sound to=
ward the end? And is it bona fide / Czernowitzer German, pronounced my way,=
or is it Yiddish?
I would greatly appreciate your comments on this. It's a hairy problem and =
I've an itch to solve it...
