Leonard Nimoy was by all accounts a real one. Just a hell of a mensch.

TIL that mensch is an actual term in the english language.

It's a Yiddish term.

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 6 points 6 days ago

It's also the German word for human.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

I'm German myself ;) But in this context (great human being) it's not used here as a single word, perhaps "eine Seele von Mensch sein" (to be a good-hearted soul).

Yeah, but English picked it up through Yiddish by way of Ashkenazi entertainers. When I see it in German I have to remind myself to not apply the implication that the person is one to be admired
