There are two closely related words here. One roughly translates to craziness and is pronounced MISH-eh-gahs. The other refers to those (plural) perpetrating the craziness, and is pronounced Mish-UH-gahs. The latter is actually slang short-hand for MISH-uh-geh-nah(s) which I believe is the more grammatically correct (if there is such a thing in Yiddish) reference to the people instead of the behavior.

Matt- that is pretty much on target. The funny thing about Yiddish words and expressions is that they are often difficult to translate into English. When I was a child my mother and grandmother spoke Yiddish around the house, and I generally knew what they were talking about. But I was unable to really translate any of the words. I only understood them within the context of what they were saying (if that makes any sense).

Yiddish is the paradigm example of "it loses something in the translation." Sometimes, it loses everything.
