Whether it's TP or GW using the word, it may indicate an unfamiliarity with
"standard" Yiddish, not spoken Yiddish or Yinglish.  GW's usage is actually
*typical* of non-standard usage.  Like, as far as English is concerned,
"rilly" instead of, like, "really."  Or, like, using the term Lolita to
describe, like, a post-pubescent girl.
