   The word means a "penis", or in slang a "jerk", like if someone steals from   
   you, you can say he is a schwartz.   
   The word is also very common last name for jewish people, which is odd, but   
   there are some other very wierd last names for jewish people.   
   Some racist people online are trying to translate the word into black because   
   it's similar to a german word, but this is not true.
