Also, Nomi, I had no idea that nosh was Yiddish, but I also have no idea what I'd thought it was. :D It just *is*.
Heh. See, I think of it as a Yiddishism, which is why I queried whether it would be in N's idiolect. But since you knew it (not just J, who has the whole NY/NJ language influence thing going on, and thus is more Yiddish influenced than many), I figured it was more widespread than just those of us who were steeped in Yiddish.
One of these days, I'll have to do a "which of these Yiddish words do you consider English" poll.
