Apparently it's not exactly the most polite word among Yiddish speakers. Not quite as coarse as the S-word, perhaps, but certainly not something you'd use outside the immediate home surroundings OK, now you have me wondering - what s-word are you referring to? If it's too impolite to type out completely, a few asterisks in the right places would probably do the trick. -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

Stosh was pronounced Fine and Healthy, though a bit on the chunky side, and beat the snot out of the doctor when she trimmed his nails. snip Blessed be, Baha That's great to hear! Best wishes, Polonca and Soncek |

I have no clue at all being a Brit, but I would guess at "touchuz" and I still don't know what it means. Say it like "took-us" except with the German "ch". "Like you'd say "Eccchhh!" when you go for a walk and step on a fresh pile of doggy-doo. Your tuchas is, as Hawkeye Says in M*A*S*H, "the derriere, the back of my front, the fleshy part." Thanks for the explanation. At least I now know how to pronounce it, even though I don't suppose I'll ever need to use it ;-) Tweed |

My mother and grandparents were so anxious for me to be posh that they punished me once when I said "bum" which means the same as tuchas in UK slang I suppose. The correct word apparently is "bottom.." I still can't say bum without expecting thunder and lightning descending upon me. I avoid it.. |
