Queen Bee- you pretty much got it- it’s to be content for some one else’s good fortune. It’s a very expressive word, and there is no equivalent in English (or in hebrew for that matter)

How about these:

Farfahlin,

upgrrind(not sure what that means but my cheder rebbe used it to teitsh tihom-di upgrrind)

tzireedert

Fahblungit

ahnshpurin

I love yiddish-what an oisergiveintlecheh shprach!
