EG "The judge tells me he's going to take the settlement out of my salary." "Gee, that's too bad." "Yeah, so basically now I'm going to make gornisht wages." Actually I think the word “garnish” in this application comes from the Yiddish word “gornisht”, which means “nothing.”

EG

“The judge tells me he’s going to take the settlement out of my salary.”

“Gee, that’s too bad.”

“Yeah, so basically now I’m going to make gornisht wages.”

I was shocked that the folks at the New Yorker would let something like this slip past. Now after reading your last comment, Neil, I realize that it was not a typo since it makes perfect sense. Hopefully this will help me with my latest obsession -- Free Rice. http://freerice.com/ Expand your vocabulary while helping to feed the world...
