What does Schmuck mean in German? schmuck = Schmock jewelry = Schmuck It seems to be a case of a false friend And let me add that I didn't know the word Schmock Edit: @Takkat: Schmu seems to be a different word See en wiktionary with equal meaning in de wiktionary And here you find a List of English words of Yiddish origin
idiom - Is there a German analogue to the English schm prefix . . . The Schmock is one of those but non-Jewish people in Germany normally wouldn't use it because they know it's Yiddish Same for this English Shm-doubling: first I would always think you are making fun of your (most likely excellent) jewish doctor In addition, schm is a common sound in German as it is in Yiddish
