What's a machsheyfah? My husband keeps calling me this and I'm sure it's not good.

he might not even know what it means, literally, just uses it as an expression ... what are you doing when he uses it?

We got into an argument about something. I'm sure he meant it to be mean.

just to be fair, when you're annoyed with your husband, do you ever use an uncomplimentary word
machasheifa, slob, shlimazel, klutz ...

Sometimes, when I'm really mad. But I don't speak yiddish, so I think he uses words I don't know to make me even more mad/frustrated. Ugh, it was such a stupid argument, too.
