Pandemic Yiddish
Doesn't it figure there'd be a Yiddish expression related to Zoom? In his Yiddish Vinkl column, Harold Ticktin discusses the word oysgezoomt, defined here: “Oysgezoomt, a new Yiddish word which sounds similar to oysgemutshet but has a rather different meaning: Overexposed to, fatigued by, exhausted from, bored by, had it with … Zoom; ‘Ich bin azoy oysgezoomt’ /I’m so done with Zoom.” (Gamzumped, Gezoomt and Gezunt | Ralph Genende | The Blogs, Times of Israel.)
