American words of yiddish origin

I just saw this list on wikipedia.

I grew up using quite a few of thee, I wonder if others have the same experience or is it more of a northeast experience:
bagel (hard to find good ones in France)
chutzpah
glitch
kvetch
kibitz
nosh
nudge
putz
schlep
schmooze
schmuck
schmutz
shnoz
tush (and tuckus )

Thanks very much Tregouet for your words about Yiddish language. For those who don't know much about its origin, Google has told me that

Yiddish is a Germanic language originally spoken by the Jews of Central and later Eastern Europe, written in the Hebrew alphabet, and containing a substantial substratum of words from Hebrew as well as numerous loans from Slavic languages.

Here 3 words very similar to their German counterparts.  Das Geld, genug, glück

gelt	money	I got a lot of gelt for Hanukah.
genuk	enough	I've had genoog out of you today!
glik	happiness	Glick in the office makes for glick in the home.

what about schmuck Tregouet? does it mean jewellery like in German ?

Nope, schmuck is more like an ignorant person
e.g. What a schmuck!
I have not heard these words anywhere else, not in England or france at least

Thanks a lot Tregouet, I will remember.
