| Schlemiel (Yiddish: שלומיאל; sometimes spelled shlemiel or shlumiel) is a Yiddish term meaning "incompentent person" or "fool." It is a common archetype in Jewish humor, and so-called "schlemiel jokes" depict the schlemiel falling into unfortunate situations.The inept schlemiel is often presented alongside the unlucky schlimazel. A Yiddish saying explains that "a schlemiel is somebody who often spills his soup and a schlimazel is the person it lands on." The schlemiel is similar to the schmuck but, as stated in a 2010 essay in The Forward, a schmuck can improve himself while a schlemiel is "irredeemably what they are."While the etymology of the term is unknown, one popular theory is that it comes from the Hebrew term shelo mo'il, meaning "useless." Another theory is that the word is derived from the name Shelumiel, an Israeli chieftain. Others claim that the term originated with the character Peter Schlemihl, the main character of a novella by Adelbert von Chamisso.In American culture, the term schlemiel is known most for its usage in the theme song of the sitcom Laverne & Shirley. The show's opening theme began with the title characters chanting, "1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8. Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!" |
