Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 24, 2023 is: nebbish • NEB-ish • noun Nebbish refers to a timid, meek, or ineffectual person. // Considered a bit of a nebbish by her colleagues, she surprised everyone by speaking up boldly against the proposed changes at the meeting. See the entry > Examples: “[Actor, Paul] Rudd is outstanding, as he toys with his own likability in his performance. Initially, he uses his Paul Rudd charm to persuade Marty [Markowitz, character] and us, that ‘Dr. Ike' is a good man whose goal is to help this poor nebbish. We all get swept up in his promise not to let people use Marty, and he lets his wife and his friends think he's performing a mitzvah by bringing the introverted Marty out of his shell.” — Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe, 17 Jan. 2023 Did you know? “It looks like Pa isn't anything like the nebbish Ma is always making him out to be.” Sounds like poor Pa got a bum rap, at least according to a 1951 book review that appeared in The New York Times. The unfortunate Pa unwittingly demonstrates much about the etymology of nebbish, which comes from the Yiddish word nebekh, meaning “poor” or “unfortunate.” In keeping with the term's semantic timidity, its journey from Yiddish to English wasn't accomplished in a single bold leap. In the earliest known English example of the word, it's an adjective meaning “harmless or ineffectual.” That mid-19th century use was joined in the early 20th century by the noun we're familiar with today. Along the way, nebbish has also been used in English as an interjection expressing dismay, pity, sympathy, or regret. The English adjective and interjection are too rare to be included in most general-use English dictionaries, but the noun has made a place for itself in the common lexicon, proving that it's less of a nebbish than the timid and meek types it refers to.

Folge #135 Marty Markowitz fühlt sich irgendwie neben der Spur. Er weiß einfach nicht, was mit ihm in letzter Zeit los ist. Er hat schon unter Selbstwertproblemen und Angstzuständen gelitten. Jetzt mit 38 Jahren fühlt er sich aber überforderter und ausgebrannter denn je. Also geht er zu einem Therapeuten. Und Dr. Ike Herrschkopf versichert ihm auch: "Wenn Sie mein Patient sind, kann ich all Ihre Probleme lösen." Hätte Marty Markowitz damals gewusst, wie diese erste Sitzung sein Leben verändern wird, hätte er die Praxis wohl niemals aufgesucht. In dieser Folge erzählt Leo von den Gefahren, die durch einen übergriffigen, manipulativen Therapeuten ausgehen können. Dr. Isaac Herrschkopf übernimmt langsam die Kontrolle über seinen Patienten. Das geht so weit, dass er ihn schließlich von seiner Familie isoliert und ihn als Sklaven für sich arbeiten lässt. Folgt @mordaufexpodcast auf Instagram & Co.

Serial "Psychiatra u boku" na platformie Apple TV + opowiada o toksycznej relacji między psychiatrą i pacjentem. Widzimy, jak przez 30 lat lekarz manipuluje swoim podopiecznym, wykorzystując go finansowo i emocjonalnie. Co ciekawe, to wydarzyło się naprawdę. W roku 2010 dziennikarz śledczy Joe Nocera kupił dom w Hamptons. Sądził, że jego sąsiadem jest psychiatra Isaac Ike Hershkopf. Z czasem jednak zorientował się, że właścicielem posiadłości jest mieszkający w domku gościnnym i wykonujący prace ogrodowe Marty Markowitz. Tak zaczęły się dociekania Joego, w wyniku których powstał podcast "Shrink next door". A następnie serial, tłumaczony jako "Psychiatra u boku".Jak to się stało, że Marty dał się tak zmanipulować? Jakie techniki zastosował Ike? Co robić, żeby nie dać się zmanipulować?

“No man lives his image.”  -Gil Hodges“As a Marine, one of Brooklyn’s beloved Boys of Summer, and the manager of the Miracle Mets, Gil Hodges lived a great American life, though one cut too short. In these pages you understand how Hodges defined what it meant to be a role model in a golden age."  -Tom Verducci, senior writer for Sports Illustrated“Zachter brings the same grace and precision to the page that Hodges brought to first base at Ebbets Field and with methodical research, insight, and pure affection gives life to the man behind the astounding stats.”
  -Marty Markowitz, former Brooklyn Borough president“Whether focusing on Hodges the Hoosier, the marine on Okinawa, the home run-hitting slugger, or the Brooklynite on Bedford Avenue, Mort Zachter has given us Gil, right down to the nub of his Marlboro.”
  -Bob McGee, author of The Greatest Ballpark EverListen in to Mort Zachter's appearance in the Clubhouse on a snowy March evening and you’ll understand the warm praise...

Marty Markowitz

Marty Markowitz. Know the name? I thought not. Marty is the borough president of Brooklyn, one of New York City's five municipal corporations. His domain stretches nine miles by eight. Marty's not even a mayor, yet more people live under his authority than lived in the whole of America in 1776.* Mathematics would argue that Marty is therefore more important than George Washington. There's a limit to the accuracy of math and we exceed this limit when we attempt to correlate numbers that have no correlation. Like we do every day when we try to justify our marketing decisions. Qualitative data, quantitative data and metrics prove the superiority of Marty Markowitz over George Washington: 1. Marty's citizens are better educated, enjoy a higher standard of living and a longer life expectancy than citizens under George Washington. 2. Marty's citizens are happier than George Washington's, evidenced by the fact that they are less prone to armed insurrection. 3. Marty's domain is networked with efficient bridges, streets and roads. George Washington's domain was undeveloped, inefficient and underutilized. 4. Marty's domain generates a profoundly higher Gross Domestic Product than the domain managed by George, even after adjusting for inflation. Marty is able to do this even though George governed a landmass 11,528 times larger than the landmass governed by Marty: 72 sq. miles vs. the 13 colonies – 830,000 sq. miles ceded by Britian at the conclusion of the armed insurrection instigated by Washington. 5. Divide the Gross Domestic Product of Brooklyn by the 72 square miles of Brooklyn and any reasonable person will be forced to acknowledge that Marty Markowitz is not only a better leader than George Washington, he is in fact the greatest leader the world has ever known. Welcome to the world of Marketing Research, where tangentially relevant data is conjoined to logically support a fallacious premise chosen in advance. TRANSLATION: “Welcome to the world of Marketing Research, where figures lie and liars figure.” Is it possible to gather relevant, reliable data and use it to help us make profitable marketing decisions? Absolutely. In fact, Wizard Academy is gathering the most highly paid marketing research professionals on earth to teach you how to accurately measure what really matters and then use that information to take your business to the next level. If you're a marketing professional who believes you're far too savvy to be fooled by data, we beg you NOT to bring a client with you to this class. Our goal is to lift your understanding to a higher level. This will happen. You will learn astounding new things. Valuable new things. Revolutionary new things. We don't want to create a situation where you feel a need to defend your old ideas. If you bring a client, it's going to be awkward when some of your old beliefs are disproven.  Here's who we're hoping to bring together:  1. John Davis conducted the research that led to a number of the most successful ad campaigns in the history of marketing. Hear the backstories of these campaigns from John, himself. Learn from this master of masters how to avoid the seductive mistakes commonly made by researchers and numbers crunchers. (We have video of John Davis in the rabbit hole. Click the Marty Markowitz photo at the top of this memo to enter. Say Hi to Alice for me.) 2. Mark Huffman is Integrated Production Manager (of advertising) at Procter & Gamble, the largest advertiser on earth*. When Mark first came to the academy nine years ago, he told me about the research culture at P & G: “In God we trust. All others bring data.” With 26 years of P & G experience – whose ad budget is nearly 5 billion dollars a year – Mark isn't guessing or simply repeating what he's been told. Mark is a BIG boy among BIG boys. 3. Jeffrey Eisenberg
