and my mom constantly said things like(i'm not certain of the spelling)
"shlep" (ie, "You look like a shlep! why are you wearing pajamas to school" OR: "I have to shlep you around to school and to practice"
"You need to vaccum, there is shmootz all over the carpet!"

"schlep" (שלעפ): to drag, to lug, to move slowly; a clumsy, negligent person, sloppy.
"schmutz (שמוץ)": dirt; filth; garbage.

Schlep is not completely Yiddish, it means to drag, like "I drag you to soccer, I schlep you to soccer."
Mashugana means nonsense. "That's a bunch of mashugana."
Schemata is something baggy and muu-muuish. "You're wearing that schemata? Euw."
Sorry, that's all I really know, hope it helps!
