'Schemozil'

[pudgee]

This word has popped up several times on Sunday Game live in the past few weeks, replacing words such as 'fracas' or 'fisticuffs'. I have never come across it before. Was I just not listening before, or is Sunday Game live inventing its own pseudo-yiddish terminology?

[pudgee]

It seems the spelling is 'schemozzle' and it actually is Yiddish. How long has this been going on?

People who might advise me on how the word came into usage, 's all.
I ask not for bonhomie, merely enlightenment.

Michael O'Heir was perhaps the one who popularised it in the GAA through his commentaries. Great word for it

Melee I was familiar with. Schemozzle not so much.
Thanks Glenagow.

but most schemozzles are down graded to "handbags".
