Yesterday i stumbled across this expressive word from Yiddish:
shmegegge
meaning baloney, nonsense, rubbish, as in "Don't give me all that shmegegge".
It's pronounced shmuhGEGee. according to the Oxford English Dictionary.
Here's the Google ngram. It's quite a recent word it seems, and is a bit less frequent than in the past. But why those high peaks? Was the word in. a film or TV show around those times? I'd love to know.
