I think that Leo Rosten – The Joys of Yiddish is reasonably authoritative.
Yid. Pronounced YEED, to rhyme with "deed." (If you pronounce it YID, to rhyme with "did," you will be guilty of a faux pas: "YID" is offensive – and the way anti-Semites pronounce it.) From the German: Jude: "Jew" … A Jew (male or female).
Yid is a neutral term (if pronounced YEED, not YID)
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
