Schmearlier or Schmelier (schmear expert)
A “sommelier” is a wine steward. In January 2020, Philadelphia Cream Cheese advertised the “schmelier,” an expert on schmearing cream cheese.
“Schmearlier” is an alternate spelling. “FYI, @LoveMyPhilly , I could argue it should be ‘Schmearlier’s,’ but this is a no-cavilling zone” was posted on Twitter by Alan Neff on July 15, 2020. “Most of my ads are philadelphia cream cheese. And i am very happy with this. The schmearlier. A Schmear expert like sommelier. Is fucking top notch absurd shit” was posted on Twitter by enragedteeth on December 2, 2020.
Wikipedia: Schmear
Schmear is a word of Germanic origin, equivalent to ‘smear’ or ‘spread’ (usually fat or butter). In some Germanic languages, the cognate of smear itself means butter.
The use and spelling of schmear or shmear in American English is a direct loanword from Yiddish, where its original usage referred to cheese. In modern usage it has extended to anything that can be spread, such as cream cheese spread upon a bagel.

Philadelphia Cream Cheese is a brand of cream cheese. It is one of the best selling brands of cream cheese worldwide, first produced in 1872 and is currently owned by Kraft Foods.

To create the world’s finest cream cheese for over 145 years takes hard work. And to achieve the schmear of approval from a master schmelier? Near impossible. #SchmearPerfection

I have never felt so spoken to by an ad before this Philadelphia commercial about a cream cheese expert called a “schmearlier”

I don’t RT ads, but in this case I have to make an exception, because “Schmelier’s” is brilliant.
(FYI, @LoveMyPhilly , I could argue it should be “Schmearlier’s,” but this is a no-cavilling zone.)

You know what’s great, @lovemyphilly? when your obnoxious “schmelier” breaks in for a quick ad in the middle of the documentary about mental health issues I’m watching on YouTube.
