I know what most of them mean and use at least five of them, but I'm both Jewish and European.
BTW, at least two of them are borrowed from Ukrainian (shmata and shmendryk).

My Friend - do you by chance have any contact to our Community admins / moderators? New posts do not get either posted, nor rejected... Which is a pity - I find this an important Community to share views on etymologies.
