mortone commented on the word plotz
Plotz: from Yiddish, meaning to drop like a stone and be really dead. That it sounds just like the English word "plots" (as in funeral plots, not as in story lines) is probably coincidental. Probably.

It's of Scottish origin and often refers to arguments that are particularly pointless.
