In the movie "Blazing Saddles", there is a scene where Mel Brooks is portraying an American Indian Chief and meeting with the Sheriff as a young child. The child's parents are certain they are going to be slaughtered by the savages when Mel Brooks yells out a Yiddish saying and then tells the family to "Cop a Walk" sparing their lives. What is this Yiddish quote and what is its meaning?
