Yiddish inflections have been fastened upon most of these loan-words. Thus, "er hat ihm /abgefaked/" is "he cheated him," /zubumt/ is the American /gone to the bad/, /fix'n/ is to /fix/, /usen/ is /to use/, and so on. The feminine and diminutive suffix /-ké/ is often added to nouns. Thus /bluffer/ gives rise to /blufferké/ (=/hypocrite/), and one also notes /dresské/, /hatké/, /watchké/ and /bummerké/. "Oi! is sie a /blufferké/!" is good American Yiddish for "isn't she a hypocrite!" The suffix /-nick/, signifying agency, is also freely applied. /Allrightnick/ means an upstart, an offensive boaster, one of whom his fellows would say "He is all right" with a sneer. Similarly, /consumptionick/ means a victim of tuberculosis. Other suffixes are /-chick/ and /-ige/, the first exemplified in /boychick/, a diminutive of /boy/, and the second in /next-doorige/, meaning the woman next-door, an important person in ghetto social life. Some of the loan-words, of course, undergo changes on Yiddish-speaking lips. Thus, /landlord/ becomes /lendler/, /lounge/ becomes /lunch/, /tenant/ becomes /tenner/, and /whiskers/ loses its final /s/. "Wie gefällt dir sein /whisker/?" (=how do you like his beard?) [Pg157] is good Yiddish, ironically intended. /Fellow/, of course, changes to the American /feller/, as in "Rosie hat schon a /feller/" (=Rosie has got a /feller/, /i. e./, a sweetheart). /Show/, in the sense of /chance/, is used constantly, as in "git ihm a /show/" (=give him a chance). /Bad boy/ is adopted bodily, as in "er is a /bad boy/." To /shut up/ is inflected as one word, as in "er hat nit gewolt /shutup'n/" (=he wouldn't shut up). /To catch/ is used in the sense of to obtain, as in "/catch'n/ a gmilath chesed" (=to raise a loan). Here, by the way, /gmilath chesed/ is excellent Biblical Hebrew. /To bluff/, unchanged in form, takes on the new meaning of to lie: a /bluffer/ is a liar. Scores of American phrases are in constant use, among them, /all right/, /never mind/, /I bet you/, /no sir/ and /I'll fix you/. It is curious to note that /sure Mike/, borrowed by the American vulgate from Irish English, has gone over into American Yiddish. Finally, to make an end, here are two complete and characteristic American Yiddish sentences: "Sie wet /clean'n/ die /rooms/, /scrub'n/ dem /floor/, /wash'n/ die /windows/, /dress'n/ dem /boy/ und gehn in /butcher-store/ und in /grocery/. Dernoch vet sie machen /dinner/ und gehn in /street/ für a /walk/."[54] American itself, in the Philippines, and to a lesser extent in Porto Rico and on the Isthmus, has undergone similar changes under the influence of Spanish and the native dialects. Maurice P. Dunlap[55] offers the following specimen of a conversation between two Americans long resident in Manila: Hola, amigo. Komusta kayo. Porque were you hablaing with ese señorita? She wanted a job as lavandera. Cuanto? Ten cents, conant, a piece, so I told her no kerry.
