Newly made up Lubavitch reference, gezh. Slang for being at least 2nd or 3rd year Lubavitch.
Word source is “megeza hayichus,” which a term in the world of true yichus – liniage of Rabbonim and Talmidei Chachamim.
The real Lubavitch term is, for those of is who shtam from the first chasidim of the Alter Rebbe (he only had about 5.) We are the “Geboirener.” Most Lubavitchers today became Lubavitch by the Heintege Rebbe z”l or the Friedeker Rebbe z”l. Behind their backs, we call them “the tzugekumeners.”
A zaida who was in tefisah in Sibeer is a huge yichus.
I have yet to see a Lubavitcher be even remotely impressed when I tell them each of the 7 Rebbes was meshadech / mechutanim with family. Or that I am eblcht”a cousins with the Rebbe z”l. My grandfather was 2nd cousins with the rebbe z”l. The rebbe’s father and my grandfather’s mother were first cousins. Their mothers were sisters. They had a common grandfather.
