On or about 1960 my grandparents Harry & Jenny Lerman moved to Brownsville B’kln to a senor citizen housing project, Mr.& Mrs, Zhychick had been living there for a year already, and had many friends , but pretty soon The Zhychicks friends started hanging out with my grandparents and avoiding The Zhychicks . the seniors used to meet at my grandparents house and get together and sing , but without the Zhychicks this infuriated the Zhychicks that and irate Zhychick placed a call to the housing authority saying that something is strange going on in the Lerman apartment, he sees men and women going in an out and that he believes that they are running a brothel .Te police came and all they saw was a bunch of elderly men and women singing .Well they carted Zhychick away & whenever my grandparents got within eye sight , you could hear Mr . Zhychick yelling in Yiddish ” Nafcah , Cordva”( Whore) and pimpavata(Pimp). my grandfather would yell back ZHYCHICK  at the top of  his, lungs  that could be heard down the block, I never found out the Zhychicks first names  but my good friend from the eating contests  Krazy Kevin Lipsitz gave me the name Gustoff , which he made up  .I since have appeared as Zhychick twice at the Philly Wing Bowl and recently won 1st prize at a Halloween contest dressed as him . So goes the story of the origins of Zhychik. *Now You can see Zhychick right here every week telling Dirty Jokes, so be sure to scroll to your right on categorizes to the Jewish-humour page..Don Lerman
