...and schmooze with the manufacturers and vendors


I'm not qualified, but I thought I'd ask. What's 'schmooze' mean? It's kind of a funny word.

Shmooze is from yiddish whickh is a compilation of middle german and hebrew(with a little local dilect from every country ) the literal translation means to converse. In the context used it means to talk up or talk with someone to get info and samples.
