[edit] Etymology

I've Googled for the etymology but no luck was to be had. I'm asking Danny (talk · contribs), who seems to know these things. JFW | T@lk 20:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

• Some words are too heimish (words from the "old country") to be "Googled"... IZAK 08:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

So who should we ask? JFW | T@lk 20:11, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The meaning of "Yekke"

As far as I was told by my father, this derogatory name is an Hebrew acronym of "Yehudi K'eshe Havana (יהודי קשה הבנה)" meaning: A Jew who have hard time to get what he was told" (inflexible one).--Gilisa (talk) 15:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
