shmuck; schmuck
noun- a fool; an objectionable person UK, 1892
Taken into general usage from Yiddish; the literal meaning is “penis”, hence the original Yiddish usage in this sense had a particularly derogatory tone. The variant “schmuck” seems to have been adopted in error due to a similarity in sound to Yiddish schmuck (jewel). - Who’s afraid of that shmuck? — Irving Shulman, The Amboy Dukes, p. 123, 1947
