    I'm familiar with the term "Joe Shmoe", which is another way of referring to the "average Joe", as in "A wealthy prominent person could get away with that but Joe Shmoe would go straight to jail."

    I'd say "schmoe" is kind of a politer way of saying "schmuck", and it's not very recent. I seem to remember it back to when I was a little kid!

    "Schmuck" is kind of interesting too. In German it means "Jewelry", yet in Yiddish it's a lot closer to "the Family Jewels" !

    What is a "shmoe"? I'm only curious, as I have heard it on the forum recently. I don't keep up on modern lingo. I do remember a cartoon character from the 70's called this and, I think there were some people called "shmoes" in comedies, kind of like "shmucks", but I am sure that this isn't the meaning behind it.

    I just saw that this morning as well. I think the seller saw that the other one sold for, I think, 203.00 dollars. Well, it makes sense that you 'watch the game closely'

    Must be the same since the picture shows the same artwork. My film arrived without box and without artwork so I assume it was home made.

    Hmm ... I wonder if it's actually the same one. Probably not, as the buyer would probably at least desire to get back what he paid, but with all the people that bid on the last copy, this one might go high ... Unless the seller was the main person moving up the bid ... It happens sometimes.
