There is a large heavy-equipment company that makes things like concrete
pumpers.
The company name: PutzMeister.
Swear to god.
For the Yiddishly illiterate, putz = well, what else? Also schmuck.
99% of the usage is:
So and so is a putz, and,
(yiddish moms to their husbands, about their son): He's playin with his
putz, again,
and, (Yiddish mom directly to her son): Stop playin with yer putz--you'll
wind up half-blind, like yer schmuck father.....
Putz is one of them non-venal insults, milder than "prick", more like
incompetent asshole, always dropping shit, not a bad guy, but not someone
you want on your team, either. Close to dork, but not quite.
Schmuck is more of an obnoxious jerk, but not quite a prick, but closer to a
prick than a putz is.
You can be a putz *and* schmuck, which basically nixes any chance of getting
laid in your lifetime.
Application:
jmw and brink would be pricks and/or cocksuckers, but not putz's. Altho
they may have been putz's as yout's.
Schuh, otoh, is a muthafucka, and at 5 y.o., was probably just a li'l
muthafucka.
Frasier could be a schmuck.
And whilst most politicians are basically laser-guided ass-seeking missiles
on two legs, taking
Viagra (the target: the collective asses of the
tax-paying American Pubic), Dan Quayle would come close to being a putz.
Not a bad guy, just, well, a putz.
Who, however, would qualify as a PutzMeister?
Yeah, I know, me, but besides me.....
Would depend on its consensus meaning: SuperPutz or master jerk-off
artist? Well-hung *and* circumcisized?
If I had to put my cunning linguistical repuation on the line, I would
hazard a guess that its use would be an equal mix of the first two.
Also, expect to see the Americanized form, CockMeister, altho I suspect that
will have more literal connotation, which might also then be applicable to
jmw, brink, and their unsavory ilk.
Pity the phone receptionist at PutzMeister.
