Thu Jul 01 2021 at 1:47:36 Shm- reduplication is a linguistic habit that English has picked up form Yiddish, in which one reduplicates a word, but replaces the initial consonant or consonant cluster of the second production with shm . The most common example is probably fancy-shmancy (more commonly spelled fancy-schmancy). although that is actually a bad example. Most often, when shm- reduplication is used it indicates disregard, disagreement, sarcasm, or disrespect. Phone-shmone indicates that one in not in favor of using the phone right now, or doesn t like this specific phone. There are at least two constructions in which this is not the case. First, a fancy-schmancy restaurant is likely to actually be quite fancy; you will have to rely on tone and context to determine if the reduplication is acting as a negative or an intensifier. Second, Joe Shmoe is used in much the same way as John Doe is, albeit with a negative connotation indicating that this person is no one importa
