Is the plural Shabbos goyim?
I'd assume so. I'm only half-Jewish on my dad's side, and he was brought up in a fairly liberal sect and ditched even that shortly after getting bar mitzvahed and didn't pass on a Jewish surname - I'm as non-Jewish as one can get while retaining any claim to it at all. So I'm not a proper authority on the subject.
I thought that you're considered Jewish if your mother was Jewish, and not Jewish if she wasn't.
That depends on the sect, apparently.
Exactly. Genetics, of course, don't give a damn whence the Jewishness, and it didn't inhibit my ability to pick up secondhand culture either except inasmuch as that set of grandparents died when I was a kid, but my point was that it being on my dad's side makes me "less Jewish" by a relevant metric.
