Still, he insists, "Some jokes remain inescapably Jewish," like the ones about schlemiels (who spill soup) and schlimazels (on whom they spill it), or about mothers who are "disapproving and difficult" but also "overly loving and protective" — a theme, he notes, that has been explored at great length by celebrated Jewish jokesters like Philip Roth and Bruce Jay Friedman.

SCOTUSblog reporter John Elwood has referred to a "Schmuck v. United States Memorial Worst-Case-Caption Award" he supposedly gives each term. In a short 1993 Yale Law Journal article on the increasing use of Yiddish loanwords in American legal opinions, chief judge of the Ninth Circuit Alex Kozinski and UCLA law professor Eugene Volokh noted that the fact that some people actually are named Schmuck made it hard to tell much about the history of the word's use in opinions. "We can't report on the degree to which schmuck has worked its way into legal English, which is too bad, because schmucks are even more common in courtrooms than schlemiels, schmoozing, and chutzpah," they wrote.

The first step in every implementation of the C standard library function for concatenating strings is determining the length of the first string by checking each character to see whether it is the terminating null character. Next, the second string is copied to the end of the first. In Spolsky's example, the "Schlemiels" occur when multiple strings are concatenated together: strcat( buffer, "John" ); // Here, the string "John" is appended to the buffer strcat( buffer, "Paul" ); // Now the string "Paul" is appended to that strcat( buffer, "George" ); // ... and "George" is appended to that strcat( buffer, "Ringo" ); // ... and "Ringo" is appended to that After "Paul" has been appended to "John", the length of "JohnPaul" (or, more precisely, the position of the terminating null character) is known within the scope of `strcat()` but is discarded upon the end of function. Afterwards, when `strcat()` is told to append "George" to "JohnPaul", `strcat()` starts at the very first character of "JohnPaul" (which is "J") all over again just to find the terminating null character.
