- Verschlechterism in title (not a real word)

| Nov 18, 2011 at 22:46 | comment | added | John Smithers | I disagree with your English translation (squirming, twitching). It has nothing to do with bugs. More with fidgety/unsettled children. | |
| Nov 18, 2011 at 22:38 | comment | added | Marty Green | Which translation do you disagree with? I assure you that the Yiddish expression does not translate as the "tender, fidgety body" of a beautiful woman. Could the Yiddish phrase conceivably be used in German to describe a woman? | |
| Nov 18, 2011 at 22:33 | comment | added | John Smithers | According to the Duden the origin of both words is unknown. Besides that I have to disagree with your translation of "zappelig". This one fits better: dict.leo.org/… | |
