I have a secret; her name is Yenta Claus. My secret brings me toys just like Santa Claus, just different. See, she is Jewish and no one else in the whole wide world knows about her because she is a secret.
I asked Yenta Claus for a new brother.

Jewish folklore, don't tell our Rabbi, OK?, but there is a female yiddishkeit elf who visits children during the gift giving period of time around the Chanukah/ Hanukkah and Christmas Holidays. She is a nice and really funny lady that comes around once a year and brings children who believe in her toys, especially us really good Jewish kids who Santa seems to forget or who because we are Jewish isn't allowed to sneek in our houses by slipping down the chimney or if you live in an apartment with out a chimney altogether. See Yenta for origins of the name in Yiddish and in contemporary culture and Santa Claus for that way cool guy from the North Pole all the other kids in the world get their toys from.

"She is such a nice Yenta! And to think we have a real Bubbie that brings the kinderlach such nice toys! Don't tell Rabbi Cohen about Yenta Claus or else it's back to finding a nasty lump of coal!"

The foursome of loud, obnoxious ladies who sit together on the commuter train and don't shut up for the entire ride much to the dismay of folks trying to sleep, read or work.
Trevor was forced to listen to music on the train just to drown out the "train yenta" and her friends who wouldn't shut the fuck up for the duration of the train ride.
A nosy neighbor that can sense when you’re up to something and wants to know ALL the dirt.
I can hear Karen and Greg fighting. My yenta-sense is tingling and need to get the gossip!
To travel on foot in a manner or fashion similar or akin to Andy Milonakis
That stupid bitch yenta waddles from one food spot to the next and thinks it's content for her stream.
