THEY OBJECT TO "SHsEAY."
Hebrews Everywhere Indig-
nant at the Century
Dictionary.
From the New York Evening Sun

ne f1eDreWS Oh lnlS city ana
throughout the country at large
are much offended at the insertion
and definition of the word Sheeny
in the Century Dictionary. The
managing editor of the dictionary
staff has received great numbers of
letters from prominent Hebrews
throughout the Union protesting
against the use of the word in the
dictionary at all, and particularly
protesting against the definition of
it which the Century editors have
given.
The Hebrews in Chicago in par
ticular are much. stirred up, and
propose 10 have a meeting demand
ing of the Century company a re-
vision of the volume containing the
word, and either its expurgation
altogether or some modification of
the definition as it now stands.
The Jewish Messenger, in its last
issue, insists that the word should
have been omitted altogether. The
definition given by the Century
Dictionary is as follows:
SHEENY-( origin obscure.) A sharp fell
low, hence Jew; term of opprobrium,
also used attributively. Slang
A great deal of the adverse criti-
cism of the dictionary editors goes
to their use of the word hence in
their definition. "A sharp fellow,
hence a Jew" they object to as Civ
ing sanction to the Objectionable
use of the word Jew. This is the
position of the American Hebrew
on the subject. Whether or no
the Hebrews have made complaint
before OH this subject, the Century
is by no means the first dictionary
to give and define the word Sheeny
Bartlett's Dictionary of American
isms however, although it gives the
word and a definition of it, does
not in any way connect it with the
Hebrews. Bartlett's definition is
as follows:
SHEENY-A sharp fellow, looking out
for some one to cheat, or with whom he
may make sharp bargain.
Bartlett, however, is clearly
wrong in classifying the word as an
Americanism, for it is in no sense
an Amcricanism. 1t is a bit of
English slang from the East End
of London, and it would seem, had
its origin among the Hebrews
themselves, as it is evidently of
Hebrew origin. This view is con-
frmed by the slang dictionary of
the edition of 1880, in which the
word is thus defined &:
SHEENEY-A Jew This word is used
by lew and Gentle at the East End of
London, and is not considered objection
able on either side.
In the slang dictionary of Bar
rere and Leland considerable space
is given to the word, the definition
of which is set down as follows
SHEENEY-(Yiddish and popular. A
common and not very respectful word
for a Jew, used principally in the slang
of the Goyim or Gentiles, but also to be
heard in jest among Jews. tits probably
from scheina-scheina jaudea lischkol-
a stupid fellow who does not know
enough to ask or inquire. Schien, a
policeman, and schiener, a house thief,
may have contributed to form this rather
obscure word.
In illustration of the way the
word is used, the following quota
ton from the Sporting Times is
given:
"Bennie is a smart boy. The
lesson was bein' read to him about
Joseph bein' sold by his brothers
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1891-08-01

effect that in the Middle Ages the
Jews used to curse their enemies
with their expression, Misah
Meschsna. 'Mayest thou die one of
the five judicial deaths. " This
curse became very common, and
the English, catching the terminal
sound from the people who used it,
applied it, or its corruption, Sheeny,
to that people.
Benjamin E. Smith, the manag-
ing editor of the Century Diction-
DRY editorial department, said that
derivations were very uncertain
and that the origin of the word
was obscure. This was the result
of the study of the word made by
the dictionary writers, and they
had so embodied this result in their
definition.
The editors of the dictionary take
the position that the word having
become an accepted word, although
slang, in the English language,
they were bound to incorporate it
in dictionary of that language;
otherwise, and by the COMMISSIONS
of people, dictionary would not
be complete. There is no dispo-
sition on the part of the Century
people to revise the volume, as is
proposed by some of the more rad
ical of the Hebrews, not is there
any intention to charge or modify
the definition in any way unless
some good pathological reason is
brought forward for so doing.
The makers of a dictionary, the
editors maintain, know neither
race, sect, religion nor creed. They
simply take the language as they
find it, and make a catalogue of its
words in actual and accepted use,
labelling each word with the best
definition of its meaning, together
with as much concerning its birth
and pedigree as learned philogists
can arrive at by careful study.
There are in all languages words
incorporated in dictionary which
might offend certain people if they
chose to take offense at a mere
printed list of existing facts. For
instance, in that marvellous work
"Littre's Dictionary of the French
Language" there is given the word
Gordam as synonymous in popular
parlance with the, word Englishmen,
the French, at the time of the occu-
patton of Paris by English soldiers,
having learned to apply that name
to them, and so to all Englishmen
in precisely the way that English
men are said to have learned to ap-
ply the word "Sheeny' to Hebrews
from the resemblance in sound to
the termination of the Hebrew
curse, Misah Mechina.
1t has not happened, however,
that there have been any complaints
from Englishmen against Littre's
dictionary, Notwithstanding that
Godam is anything but a compli-
mentary term by which to design
ate a particular nationality. In
the same way the verb to deacon,
with the definition to cheat, is Civ
ell in the dictionary, and as yet
none of the New England deacons
have entered complaint, although,
as explained in giving its deriva-
ton, the word has its origin in the
alleged sharp practice of Yankee
deacons when it came to a matter
of making a trade.
