1 Gitl kept rearranging the gifts, making them seem to be twice as numerous, saying again, “Those schnorrers in Viosk will know we honor our own.”

2 “She should be counting your curls, not her gifts. We will load the chickens in the wagon with the other wedding gifts. Those schnorrers in Viosk will not think we do not honor our own.”

3 As an altar boy growing up in Kansas City, Mo., he heard his first Yiddish word — schnorrer, or freeloader — uttered by Groucho Marx in “Animal Crackers.”
