Etymology

Plural of 'drek,' from Yiddish 'drek,' possibly from Slavic languages.

Kelly Says

The plural 'dreks' shows how Yiddish words have been fully integrated into English—we treat them like regular English nouns by adding '-s' for plurals, even though the original Yiddish word might have pluralized differently.
