re: #302 sagehen

Try to find a way to work “machetaynischter” into a conversation, no other language has a word for that relationship (your offspring’s spouse’s parents are your machetaynischters. They’re inferior of course, you’re a far better in-law to their child than they are to yours. You’re also a much better grandparent than they are.)

We have a family word for that. To be “yarmooshed” means to be crowded, suffocated, overwhelmed by the crush of relatives.

For example, we are going to Toronto next week for my granddaughter’s Bat Mitzvah, and we are staying at the Holiday Inn in order not to be yarmooshed to death.
