sounds like jiddisch/hebrew mischpoke most commonly used for kin/family usually with a negative connotation in modern days :/

hah, didn't think anyone would get it.
my brain will sometimes vomit out a sample, or, well, a video clip, and just randomly yesterday my brain is all, "kid, you're mispooka now," from TV series ~the wire~, the sketchy jewish lawyer talking to bald herc. it was distantly related to something else i was thinking about, and, boom, here's a video clip of a tv show we haven't seen in months. and then i'm thinking: yeah, that's clearly yiddish slang for "family" or something but i couldn't even spell that close enough to google it
then i think: this is also a very silly-sounding word; let's make a shit thread about it
and now you've figured it out and answered my question. which is actually something google is incapable of. thanks ijonspeeches. thanks xltronic

ha, didnt expect that. glad i could help though. i think mel brooks may have used it in his robin hood movie aswell.
its easy to pronounce "family" with a certain dislike. dont know a family that gets along perfectly or is fnd of every distant relative.
however in germany the word mischpoke made it into the dictionary describing scum in 1941. thats fucked up.
