Also, furschlugginer (and other variants), a Yiddishism that came into fandom, as well as American English, via Mad Magazine. Fannishly, mostly means “crazy” or “stupid,” as in, “I can’t get the hang of that ferschlugginer hitchie.”
| From Fancyclopedia 2, ca. 1959 |
| A Mad-word; "a sort of clean dirty word". From Yiddish "far-schlogner", which we may translate "all beat up". |
| From Fancyclopedia 2 Supplement, ca. 1960 |
| Alternatively Furschlugginer. A second possible derivation would consider it a portmanteau-wor from Ferschimmelt (moldy) and meschugginer (insane). |
