The origin is Suebian (not Yiddish)
Here is a link to a Suebian English dictionary
http://www.schwaebisch-englisch.de/con/voc.html
Everybody had it right.
--------
1 st. Any uncontrolled loose movement in a joint is "schlenkern" (the verb). E.g. as a lanky person swinging her arms (and buttocks)
2nd. When driving a car it means to swerve (in an uncontrolled manner) -- what we call in America the "curb check" would be in German a "Schlenker"
3rd. Yes, it also means "straying" (as in marital fidelity)
4th and final. My suspicion, your friend had no idea what her name stands for, except that it was German. (I have yet to meet a Suebian called "Schlenker" trying to hide from the family name.) |

A "Schlenker" in terms of driving a car is something you should definitely avoid: The words designates an unprecendented or uncontrolled move. Talking about people, the verb "schlenkern" means "to shake one's limbs", and designates a person who is rather tall, slim, and uses "body language" (gestures) frequently; you'd say "er schlenkert" oder "sie schlenkert", depending on whether male or female. To all that I know, the word has a yiddish origin, but don't ask me about the Hebrew. |

I'm German and I can tell you that Mark H got it right! The correct term is "schlenkern" as a verb or "Schlenker" as a noun. A car for example can make a Schlenker which means it swings around something.
Hope this helps! |

Your friend won't tell you because your friend doesn't know either. Google it. |
