"The lexicographer, Michael Wex, the author of How to Be a Mentsh (And Not a Shmuck), writes that the Yiddish term and the German term are completely unrelated. 'Basically, the Yiddish word comes out of baby talk,' according to Wex. 'A little boy’s penis is a shtekl, a 'little stick'. Shtekl became shmeckle, in a kind of baby-rhyming thing, and shmeckle became shmuck. Shmeckle is prepubescent and not a dirty word, but shmuck, the non-diminutive, became obscene.'
from the Wikipedia Page "Schmuck (pejorative)."
