No, actually it's a misnomer, because a Yenta is not a matchmaker, but I guess the real Yiddish word for that is not as catchy.
It's a REAL device, but I guess didn't catch on. You enter all kinds of personal information and also information on what type of person you are looking for as a romantic interest. When you are in the vicinity of someone else who has a Yenta - and either you match their programmed desires or vice-versa, the device alerts you and displays the other person's information for you.
Electronic Matchmaker in Real Time.
I wanted one.
But, 'natch, unless a Whole Buncha people get one, it's useless. Maybe a future iPhone app???
(I think the device was a minor plot point in the movie Shortbus)
