Maybe they're calling them "Murder Hornets" as to not politicize them, kind of like how some people call COVID-19 "Wuhan Flu."

Yeah the real name is Asian Giant Hornet. Fine, we'll call them Vespa mandarinia.

Might have snuck in through Yiddish

I post, knowing nothing about either Yiddish or Hebrew

A while ago I Googled Yiddish and I was legitimately shocked how much of it is basic German words we use all the time. I'd love to know which came first and which influenced what but it was an eye opening moment.

Yiddish is basically a Germanic language with a good amount of words from Hebrew + some bits Slavic & others

There are probably comparisons to be made with AAVE, both being "ethnic" languages/dialects

Was, but loving hell was he ever. He makes me involuntarily yell "How the gently caress??!" at my screen.

If you get a chance the whole show of his "Ricky Jay and His 52 Assistants" is on YouTube in case you ever want to see a guy be better with a deck of cards than Eddie Van Halen is with a guitar. I'm fairly certain to do what Ricky Jay did would require not only all-time-great level sleight of hand and card control skills, but also a genius level intelligence. He's the definition of a magician's magician.

If you don't know, then that's Ricky Jay, and he's good. (Was good - he died in 2018.) There are some excellent YouTube videos featuring him - Ricky Jay and his 52 Assistants is a great place to start, but there's a Ricky Jay Plays Poker which is pretty amazing.

I don't remember the documentary, but some film executive or producer was chaperoning him around, and he was cranky that day. So she ends up taking him to a diner somewhere to have some coffee.

They're talking and he's venting about the film, and then he lays down a napkin, makes a little curtain, and one second later there is a 1 cubic ft block of solid ice on the table. She started crying, she was so moved by this weird private trick that was just for her. He was kind of taken aback, said, "It's just lying Carol. I do it for a living."

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
...where did the ice come from.

There's one on YouTube of him with John C Reilly and some other actors showing them poker tricks, like how he can deal basically any hand to anyone, really good stuff.

John C Reilly told a story about being on the set of a movie that Ricky was either consulting on or acting in. Reilly's role had him learning tricks, and he learned some card trick and immediately ran up to Ricky to show him.

Ricky said words to the effect of "Already? I practice my tricks for at least a year before I show anyone"

Absolute boss. Had a good turn on X-Files as well.
