C
schlemiel, schlep, schlock, schmaltz, schmo, schmooze, schmuck, schnook, schnozzle, schtick
All but schmaltz are slang, and all came into English from Yiddish.
A schlemiel is "an unlucky, awkward person";
a schmo is "a stupid, foolish person";
a schnook is a "stupid, gullible person";
a schmuck is a "jerk" (from the word for penis);
schlock is "something cheap, inferior";
schmaltz is "something sentimental";
Even here, though, Cronenberg overplays his hand, with a shot of a sickle blade [slicing] into an eye; the balance is [tipped], and the scene is [spoiled]. Why go that far? Must he [cling] to his schlocky reputation at all costs?
to schmooze is to "chat or gossip";
schnozzle is a word for "nose, especially a big nose";
to schlep is to "carry or to walk slowly";
schtick (sometimes shtik) is "a talent or speciality, an entertainer’s routine."
Spellings sometimes vary.
But [Smith acolytes] would insist that is the point:
Here we are, a decade later, and nothing has changed for Dante Hicks (Brian O'Halloran) and Randal Graves (Jeff Anderson). The movie begins where its predecessor left off,
with Dante schlepping [to] work at the Quick Stop in New Freakin' Jersey.
Randal still works at the video store next door. They're still go-nowhere men, moved off-site only by the inferno that devours the Quick Stop during Clerks II's opening moments. But they crawl only as far as Mooby's, the fast-food joint featured in other Smith films, because, try as the writer-director might to escape his View Askewniverse, he can take only right turns.
