It gives you a variety of Yiddish terms and their translation. For example, there’s the schimazel and the. schimel. Let’s say two people are going down a flight of stairs and one kicks over a bucket of water. That guy’s really a schimazel. The one it lands on – he’s a schimel.

Usually, I wrote what *I* thought was interesting. A request from ON HIGH, as the concept of branding was coming into vogue, asked if I could do such a piece. I demurred. It was an easy piece to write. <o:p></o:p></p><p>Few other pieces I've written have provoked such a strong reaction, a cavalcade of tchotchke ratings, complaints, hoarder museum pieces, and more. After everyone got past <i>WTF Is Tchotchke?</i>, most everyone had an opinion, including: recycling the stuff (the food chain of trade show t-shirts was interesting), water bottles (Junior's going to look cool with this in middle school), and the onerous: these are bribes with logos. <o:p></o:p></p><p>A couple of wags related how they waited until the show was about to close, then offered extraordinarily low-ball offers to just take the booth demo units home with them, sometimes benefiting in the tens of thousands of dollars from weary booth personnel.
