Into a Writer's Head

Yiddish Word of the Week

I've decided to start sharing with you all the wealth of knowledge received in my Yiddish Word for the Day calendar (courtesty of Lil' Sis).
This week's word is Toches (n.): bum, butt, rear, rump, derriere, tush...take your pick, they are all accurate. Pronounced Tuh-ches (with the gutteral /ch/ sound only pronouncable by Jews and those who speak Germanic languages). Apparently I've been spelling it wrong all my life.

Enjoy
