German translation in "Marathon Man" (1976)

Yiddish curse on "All in the Family": What did it mean?

And how did it mean that Levy (TV repairman) “really got even?” Earlier thread. I don’t think it was ever answered a) whether or not this was some well-known phrase in Yiddish or b) what was so "evening"about it. Basically “I hope you have a hotel with a thousand hungry guests.” Doesn’t seem very cutting, in my opinion. Maybe it was just that the writers figured that outside of New York City that hardly anyone would now what it meant, and assume it was really something vile. Anyone???
