  Yid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yid (when pronounced "yeed") is the Yiddish word for Jew.
An exceptional non-offensive use of Yid by non-Jews is when it is by a member or supporter of English Premiership football team Tottenham Hotspur to refer to another fan or player in the team.
Tottenham Hotspur are nicknamed "The Yids" due to the large Jewish population of their North London location - although this is not necessarily reflected in their actual fanbase.

Yid Vicious takes an innovative approach to klezmer, or Eastern European Jewish folk music, through its incorporation of elements as diverse as bossa nova and ska, homages to the likes of Johnny Cash and George Gershwin, and even occasional solos.
Yid Vicious was formed in 1995 in Madison, WI in order to ameliorate the woeful dearth of klezmer in America's otherwise pleasant heartland.
Yid Vicious, ever hungry for attention, is available for weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, anarchist picnics, seances, boat shows, clam bakes, lumberjack competitions, corporate downsizings, highland games and other events.

Historically, the word Yiddish is an adjective derived from the original noun Yid.
In English, the word yid (but not Yiddish) is usually offensive according to, for instance, Webster.
The word may be heard in inoffensive or jocular forms among Jews, particularly those who speak Yiddish, but it is considered rude when used by others.

 Reviews - Forverts!/Yid Vicious
Actually, if "Forverts!" is in any way representative of Yid Vicious' typical output, then they're really quite reassuringly mainstream, straight-ahead (mainly) acoustic klezmer, with just a touch of rock here and there (and a distinct "celtic" feel to the fiddle).
Yid Vicious prove themselves a very lively and excellent band on "Forverts!", with superb arrangements matched by excellent musicianship and performance all round.
I feel compelled to comment further on the arrangements, in that they are really quite uncommonly well crafted in particular respect of the sax parts and the sax's interaction with other parts, especially with the clarinet.

So this weekly series, Pintele Yid, will recommend what I consider to be quintessentially Jewish works of letters or music or art, not works which purport to "explain" Judaism and Jews to outsiders, but those which transport you inside a Jewish skin and show you the world through Jewish eyes.
Pintele Yid, is literally "Jewish point" in Yiddish, but really means the tiny yet brilliant spark which is the unchanging concentrated essence of Jewishness.
This week's recommendation: In honor of the Iranians who are daily defying their government in pursuit of liberty, and in honor of my beloved Austin TX, my first recommendation is a CD.
