Sell them tchotchkes!

skaorsk8 Aug 14, 2003

is that how you spell that? i always wondered.

theremin thereminOG 2002 ·

It can be spelt a few different ways: tshatshke (Yiddish), tsatske, tchotchke, czaczka (Polish), or chachka. I like "tchotchke" the best.

They're not the same word. Just etymologically the same.
