 * Comment. Can anyone confirm this word exists? It sounds a bit made up. If it does, we should transwiki. - Mgm|(talk) 01:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

 * This is a variant spelling of a real and well-known Yiddish word which has actually made it into the American Heritage College Dictionary under the spelling "meshuga" or "meshugga", defined in English as being slang for "crazy" or "senseless". But this article is just a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I wonder if Wiktionary has this word already ... mishuga? no. meshuga? yes.... so they have it under the other spelling. Delete from Wikipedia; encourage the creation of a redirect at mishuga instead. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 09:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
