Fans debate whether George's character is best described as a schlemiel, nebbish, or schmuck, with discussion of how these Yiddish terms apply to his lack of integrity and personality traits.
i only know some yiddish words. i think george is a schlemiel, but a friend of mine says he is a nebbish. i had the sense that he is too "together" to be a nebbish. and i am pretty sure he is not completely one or the other. that he lacks integrity is beyond question.
where does he lie in the spectrum, or is there a better word for him?
George is a schlemiel, with nebbishy qualities--
