@SamD how much for the pixelated flannel and will the pixelation make me look slim? And the most asked question ever on this forum, when is it available? Joking of course

-
@Anesthetist I guess here's your trifecta shirt!
-
@tody hot damn you might be right!
-
@Tago-Mago Ha ha, I should probably keep schtum from now on, so I don’t get myself into trouble

-
@goosehd I had to look it up too

How the hell do you pronounce it? -
@SamD sounds almost a bit Dutch/ German. We have the word 'stom' with the same* meaning, Interesting!
- well, it can also mean: stupid, but can also be used mute: a movie without dialogue is a 'stom(me)' movie. And someone without speech can also be 'stom'.

Its Yiddish, which is a hybrid of german and hebrew. I always thought using these words in english was mainly a NY kind of thing though..
some examples that come to mind
going for a shwitz - go to the sauna (from schwitzen, to sweat)
a smier - putting cream cheese on a bagel (from schmieren, to smear)
stum - to be quiet about something (from Stumm, mute)
drek - dirt (from Dreck, dirt)but theres a whole wikipedia page for those of course

I suspect it's used in southern English almost exclusively and probably comes from London. I'm southern and live in the north/midlands and use it myself but never hear other people using it. Historically there was a significant European Jewish minority in London.

@tenuin That’s funny. After watching the pronunciation vide I thought to myself it totally sounded like Yiddish!
