    I'll leave this here...

    There's a Yiddish word that's spelled similarly. It can be spelled in a bunch of ways - zaide for example. It's pronounced ZEY-dee. It means grandfather.

      You didn't have to let us know.

      But you did.

        Alter kocker voice: "Great-grandson, great-grandson - on Facebook I saw somebody speaking of 'their zaddy'. Their zaddy? The gentiles are using Yiddish now?"

        Great-grandson: "It um... I mean... It's not from Yiddish."

        Alter kocker: "What then?"

        Great-grandson: "Oy vey."
