In My Opinion
I'm not Jewish, and I don't have a copy of the Websterstein desk dictionary handy so I cant say with any authority.
however, I always considered a schmuck as the same as a jerk, one that knows he is ignorant, and goes out of his way to be so.
I think of a putz as someone that might be feeble minded and sort of goofy and aloof, but, by no reason of personal choice.

given my evidently incorrect interpretations of the words, I would rather be a putz than a schmuck

Putz or schmuck?

My step mom is Jewish and she, as an authority on Jewish insults and cuss words, says they are both bad. I said "How bad, worse than dick or #######?"
And she said "yes!"

I am not so sure. Schmuck is, basically the same as calling someone an a hole and putz seems to be pretty much the same as calling someone a dick. So, the only reasonable thing is to put it to you, the good people of the SOMD forums.

:popcorn:

I have been called way worse then that.
