- Goniff (GAH-niv) is Hebrew and Yiddish for “thief,” and has come to refer to anyone who is a swindler, a cheat or just plain dishonest. In Yiddish parlance a theft is called a geneivah (a loanword from Hebrew), but the act of stealing is to ganveh, a formulation that imposes Germanic syntax onto the original Hebrew word.
