Johnny Weir

Whether witty or wise, controversial or charming, shocking or silly, sweet or sassy, provocative or profound, inspiring or infuriating--or any combination of those--Johnny Weir, the three-time U.S. Champion, two-time Olympian, and World medalist figure skater, almost always says something worth quoting whenever he commentates a skating competition, makes a TV appearance, gives an interview, holds a press conference, writes, tweets, or is caught on video. His quotes needed to be collected and shared; hence this blog.

On Tara's appearance modeling one of the wedding dresses:

She's kvelling.

Blogger's note: Another Yiddish lesson from Johnny. "Kvelling" means "gushing with pride."

Other Yiddish from Johnny:

"punim"
"schmatta"
