Information

Schlep

The term schlep is a Yiddish-derived slang word that has been widely adopted into English. It is used as a verb to mean to carry or drag something with effort, often over a long distance, or as a noun to refer to a tedious journey or a bothersome task. The word is also used more broadly to describe any burdensome or tiresome activity. In Hebrew, the equivalent term is לְסַחֵב (lesakhev), which carries a similar meaning of dragging or pulling something with difficulty. In German, the term schleppen is used, which shares the same root and meaning as the English "schlep." The word is often used in colloquial contexts and is considered informal. Its usage is particularly prevalent in Jewish communities and in regions with significant Jewish populations, such as New York City, where Yiddish influence has been substantial.
