     Zhlubb is, I believe, a Yiddish term, but not of endearment.  
     
     I'm not sure what the actual definition is (many Yiddish words cannot 
     be precisely translated into English).  However, based on the context 
     in which my parents used the term (generally on my brother and me when 
     we were growing up), I believe it means a lazy, sloppy, slowmoving 
     person.

- Richard M(ilhous) Zhlubb - does his name have a meaning in any 
slavic/semitic/turkic language?  And/or does it relate to Glubb Pasha 
or the producer Golub?
