what does the Yiddish Chutzpah mean, and can you find any examples of it here on Yahoo! Answers?

Don't you think that all the students who ask for someone else to do their homework (and usually don't even change the 'teacher language' wording, is great example of chutzpah? I actually would consider it cheating, if I were a teacher.

    I've had several questions deleted and received those nasty little emails from the Y/A about chatting. It's just the price you pay for using Yahoo Answers. Remember that lesson you learned in grade school ..... Life is not fair. A word of advice, make all of your Questions and Answers private. Don't allow contacts or fans. No IM, 360 or email. Then a person who means to cause you trouble by reporting your Questions and Answers will have less access to you. Good luck and best wishes!

    Defined as brazen gall.

    As for the students who cheat, it would be chutzpah if they asked their teacher to check their homework right on Y/A, rather than copy-paste it. Major Chutzpah

    What's been said by our first two responses is a fitting feel of the word. From the context I've heard it can also be used in a similar sense as "gutsy", "ballsy", that sort of thing.
