re: #426 Gang of One

Oy vey. Mensch, in its common Yiddish, un-elitist usage refers to a person who acts with dignity, grace under fire, ethics, etc. When someone is called a mensch, they are being praised for being the opposite of you.

Because he doesn’t know - or care? - that Yiddish is High Middle German?
