Yiddish & The Coronavirus

In Harold Ticktin's December 11 Yiddish Vinkl, he chose the word eyngeshparter, which means a stubborn person.  The definition he used reminded me of a certain president: "An eyngeshparter is a person who is protesting to end the shutdown before it’s safe, still not wearing a mask and claiming the pandemic is all a hoax”. 

That definition is from an article titled "These 10 Yiddish words will get you through quarantine", which you'll enjoy.
