@minngael : As a Rural, non Accademic German , i think this ,Scots' is only a Variation of regular english. Germans , Austrians and Swiss Germans use in theory same ,Standard German ', but in reality still now, 150 years after First , Deutsche Rechtschreibkonferenz' the vocabulary is in Switzerland and Austria different to usual vocabulary in Germany. But usually using the brain helps to understand different words.

@katherinetamarizhoward3215 : In german dialects Schmer/ Schmär is very bad cattle fat, you should not use for meat food like saussages. Schmiere is a slang word for grease fat, you need for machines.

@katherinetamarizhoward3215 : Yiddish is strong influenced by german language, so that a german citizen is able to recognize older german words. So jewish people use the word today may be not exactly in the same way than german people do, but when a german knows the context, we understand , what is meant. In technical/craftsman context the verb ,schmieren' is OK, but in medical or food context, it is seen as unfine.
