Chutzpah

Daring and self belief. Feeling really funky about something and there fore not stressing about it. Chutzpah is not just a feeling but a way of life. It’s about feeling audacious and having courage in yourself.

Go into the exam with chutzpah and even if you don’t know anything you’ll do okay.

Chutzpah

Old joke about the kid who killed his parents and then pleaded for mercy in court because he was an orphan.

(taken from Digital Filmmaking 101 book by Dale Newton and Josh Gaspard, page 31)

And from there you can bargain for better. You've got to have the chutzpah to keep pushing for more and more -- or in this case, less and less.

Chutzpah

Chutzpah amounts to a total denial of personal responsibility, that renders others speechless and incredulous, one cannot quite believe that another person totally lacks common human traits like remorse, regret, guilt, sympathy and insight.

Good example of chutzpah:
"Mikhail Bogdanov, Russia’s deputy foreign minister in charge of Middle East issues, told a meeting of EU ambassadors in Moscow last week that the reconstruction of Syria would top the agenda very soon, according to European diplomats. He said “tens of billions of dollars” would be needed, while warning that “nothing” should be expected from Russia, the diplomats said."

Chutzpah

Brash disdain for normal standards of conduct, a breezy disregard for the audience's moral compass. Best done with such elan that it becomes lampshading, creating the illusion that this is normal, even honorable conduct. Imported into English from Yiddish.

Even though the 737 MAX airliner remained grounded by a self-certified design flaw, Boeing had the chutzpah to propose replacing physical tests with computer simulations.

Chutzpah

A quality lacking in voles.

Other negative qualities voles possess include lacklustre organisation skills and abysmal timekeeping

"You've vole got no Chutzpah; your organisation skills are lacklustre and your timekeeping is abysmal."
