Well, you live and learn. I was doing a bit of reading around this subject, as you do. And I came across the odd fact that the term 'Schmuck' is a Yiddish obscenity, meaning 'Penis'. And, in 1963, its use got the American comedian, Lenny Bruce, arrested.

Funny, isn't it, how few people would know or even care what the word really meant.
