==Usage==
The term although Hebrew, may be inserted as a set phrase in languages other than Hebrew, including Yiddish,〔Jewish Currents 1990 reprinted Max Rosenfeld ''Festivals, folklore & philosophy: a secularist revisits Jewish ...'' 1997 "When you utter his name, you add (with feeling) yimakh shemoy! — may his name be obliterated! This phrase has become a kind of formula in Yiddish writing, whenever the name of Hitler occurs, but of course it originated with Haman"〕 e.g. ''"Dos iz a kol-boynik, yemakh-shmoy!"'' ("He is a scoundrel, yemakh-shmoy!")〔''A Yiddish dictionary in transliteration'' Harry Coldoff - 1988 Jewish language review: Volume 4 Association for the Study of Jewish Languages - 1984 "Mikoyekh hayntike tsaytn, mikoyekh emigratsye, Palestine, veys ikh! Veys ikh? Epes dakht zikh mir - - oykh dos zelbe?. Nu, un der Voskhod? Der Voskhod? Dos iz a kol-boynik, yemakh-shmoy! Ir hot gezen, vi tsederboym raybt im a morde?"〕 and English.〔American voices: how dialects differ from coast to coast - Page 254 Walt Wolfram, Ben Ward - 2006 - 269 "Expressions include wishful terms, eg, halevai 'would that it were so', greetings, eg, boruch habo 'welcome', curses, eg, yemach shemo 'may his name be blotted out', and interjections, eg, nu 'well, so'. "〕 When the phrase is used in English of plurals the Hebrew plural ''-am'' ("their names and their memories" ''yimach shemam ve-zichram'') is applied.〔Dictionary of Jewish usage: a guide to the use of Jewish terms - Page 39 Sol Steinmetz - 2005 A. M,yimach shemo vezichro!. plural, yimach shemom (vezichrom). (Literally) 'May his name and memory be blotted out!'" (''Who's who in Lubavitch: Volume 1'' Chaim Dalfin - 2003 "...sent Rabbi Rafael Kahn, who was Rav in Usvet, replacing his father-in-law Rabbi Yoel Dovidson, to replace Rabbi Estrin in Shtzedrin. Later he was rav in Nevel and finally in Riga, where he was murdered by the Nazis yimach shemom. )〕 The epithet may be abbreviated as "Y. S." in some English texts.〔Osher M. Lehmann, Oscar M. Lehmann ''Faith at the brink: an autobiography of the formative years'' 1996 "The abbreviation YS is added in this book, following the initial mention of committed German evildoers. YS, "Yemach Shemom" literally translates to "May his/her/their name be erased"."〕 In Hebrew the abbreviation is (יש"ו) ''y-sh"u''〔(Hebrew Wiktionary - abbreviation y-sh"-u )〕〔Gershom Scholem ''Tagebücher: nebst Aufsätzen und Entwürfen bis 1923'' 2 - 1995 "Und den Nathanael gelesen.
