Can somebody possibly provide a phonetic pronunciation for the Hebrew word in the title? Though (by definition) it's the perfect word for the situation, I have no idea how to pronounce it.

Would love to use that word in conversation every now and then, so hopefully someone here will come through... Thanx!

Closest I can give you is Mish-shoo-gahs (gahs rhymes with Haas).

There are two closely related words here. One roughly translates to craziness and is pronounced MISH-eh-gahs. The other refers to those (plural) perpetrating the craziness, and is pronounced Mish-UH-gahs. The latter is actually slang short-hand for MISH-uh-geh-nah(s) which I believe is the more grammatically correct (if there is such a thing in Yiddish) reference to the people instead of the behavior.

Very helpful... never would have guessed that's how it looks in writing...

Thanks, all!

Matt- that is pretty much on target. The funny thing about Yiddish words and expressions is that they are often difficult to translate into English. When I was a child my mother and grandmother spoke Yiddish around the house, and I generally knew what they were talking about. But I was unable to really translate any of the words. I only understood them within the context of what they were saying (if that makes any sense).

I am certainly NOT the expert on pronunciation, but I always thought is was:

MI - shay - gus.

I bow to Barry in this matter.
