      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.

        Thanks for letting us know this.

        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."
