    I don’t get it.

    Is the point that the lines are diagonal, rather than vertical or horizontal?

    Is it that a proper tool would have anti-aliased them?

    Is it that the rightmost lines have been scaled up so have fatter pixels than the others (anisotropically in one case I think)?

    But Yiddish is itself a Germanic language, and modern German dialects like Bavarian do have “Schof” = “Schaf” = “sheep”. Is there a better etymology for Schof here? And Seckl < Säckle < Sack would be perfect for scrotum too, and in high German you can call someone “du Sack” to mean they’re an idiot also.
