out of topic

[Jerzy Matysiakiewicz <jerzym...>]

Once again out of the topic - not musical but
linguistic question.
My deceased parents were from Galizia - father from
Zydaczow near Lwow, mother from RAdomysl Wielki near
Tarnow.
In our home when they wanted to talk  'bout matter "not
for the children" they used words in Ukrainian, German
and Yiddish.
One of such words was "husyp" used, I suppose, to
describe stiff, proncipled or hard-lined persons.
Is this deformed Yiddisch word or am I completely on
the wrong path.
Once again sorry
