Why: Kat is trying to think of a way to describe the fat teller who conducted her transaction and apparently lost the checks she deposited.
Answer: Well it's Yiddish, doy, but Yiddish is a mixture of other languages. In this case, the word zaftik, Yiddish for "juicy," comes from the High German word saft, "juice."
