Word of the Fortnight
This being the first time I've posted anything about words on this blog, and really having no intention to continue doing so in a consistent manner, the period of time mentioned above is entirely arbitrary. But hey, this is my space. The blog-reading public can only punish me with their e-feet. Though to be honest, sometimes the blog-reading public kicks like an e-mule.So, Word of the Fortnight: גושפנקה ("gooshpanka").
How cool is it?! The answer is, of course: "very cool". Turns out it means "imprimatur" or "seal of approval". Really, whatever it were to mean, I would be happy to use it every day if I could.
Try it and see!

It's got a bit of a Yiddish, or maybe Slavic sound to it.
Really? I had guessed Aramaic, but I really don't know ...
