The Dreck Begins
07/06/2014
First thing I think of is where did the word "dreck" come from?
Yiddish words used in English
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
dreck or drek (Yid., דרעק from German Dreck, "manure", "dirt" ): Material of low worth or lacking in quality; used especially of merchandise. Akin to dregs, "remains."
How come a New Zealander of British descent knows a word like that?
I never knew its origin until now.
I strongly suspect MAD magazine.
Oh noes, I'm the victim of a Jewish conspiracy.

Not a good start, my first post is a self-referential examination of its own title, second, my chosen title has connotations of leftovers, when I have nothing yet to have anything left over from; third, my youthful innocence is shattered by discovering I was brainwashed by comics........
Wait.. where have I heard that one before?
