Please spell them out phonetically and define them in English for the Hebrew illiterates, such as me.

One of Chaim's favorite words on his Hebrew clips: יהודון - Yehudon = "Jew-Boy" - a semi-affectionate, semi-disparaging epithet in Israel!

Leh-LEAzazel. Means go to Azazel. Azazel is the place where the goat during the time of the beit hamikdash (during the time of Yom Kippur) would be taken and thrown off a rocky cliff. It is basically telling someone to go to Hell.
