What word am I trying to remember?

In My Humble Opinion
1

I’m not well-versed in Saturday Night Live culture, so be patient with me: there was one of the male cast members who did a Jewish lady who interviewed people or did society spots or something like that. I think this character liked to use the word “verklemt”. There was another word, Yiddish I think, that this character used that I keep trying to remember, because it would be fun to use myself: it meant approximately “got so excited that I did something embarrassing”. Like, “I was so excited, I _____ed!”

What word was it?

I believe the sketch is called ‘Coffee Talk’ if that helps. There are clips of it online. I am not sure of the exact word you are looking for yet.

3

Vershnickled? Plotzed?

4

Was it “I got shpilkes”?

5

Mike Myers, “Coffee Talk with Linda Richman”, verklempt

I don’t remember using the phrase you mention, my best guess from context might be “plotzed”.

Yes, that’s the word you want. BTW, I’ll give you a topic: The Holy Roman Empire was neother Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire. Discuss!

Shpilkes in the genectakazoink! Something like that.
