  2. haller?!?! yes it does mean those little things... it's the Slavic word for "toys"..

    Tchotchke (originally from Yiddish טשאַטשקע tshatshke [often spelled in a variety of other ways (such as tshotshke, tshatshke, tchatchke, chachke, or chochke) because there is no standardized transliteration] trinket)...

    BUT...

    Leo Rosten, author of The Joys of Yiddish, gives an alternate sense of tchotchke as meaning a desirable young girl, a "pretty young thing". Less flatteringly, the term could be construed as a more dismissive synonym for "bimbo". These sexist usages are not widely used outside Jewish circles. The term (in the form tzatzke with a "z" instead of a "ch") is sometimes used in modern Hebrew as a slang word equivalent to "slut."

    So there...

  3. i'd like to name a boutique shop...."tchotchke" ... slogan: We sell all things sugar-y and spice-y.. Including vaginas..

    hahaha just kidding...

    but this actually gives me an idea... i'll make an online shop using this very word, okay, maybe the plural form! watch out for the grand opening :D
