Why use the yiddish, goy?
If "yokel" is yiddish then that's the first I've been aware of it. It's used as another term for hick in my neck of the woods.
Cheers, fellow yokel! :D
here you go, fren.

It was not meant to expound on the meaning, but to show it is Yiddish.

That's not where it came from. It came from the name of a woodpecker and it's call. The same bird that gave us peckerwood. :)
