		The word you're looking for is actually "tchotchke," and while your friends may never have heard of the word, I'll bet they own a ton of tchotchkies (the plural of tchotchke).
		Tchotchke (usually pronounced "CHOCH-kah") is indeed a Yiddish word, meaning "trinket or toy," and comes from a Slavic word meaning "to play pranks." Tchotchke (also spelled "tsatske") can sometimes mean a small gift or reward, an inconsequential person or even a pretty girl.
		While the original meaning of "tchotchke" was "trinket," today the word is usually applied to small decorative or whimsical items that usually are meant to be displayed on a shelf or mantle.

		Iâve just discovered that my favorite word, tchotchke, or chachka, which Iâve always understood to mean âa cheap showy trinket,â can also refer to âa mistress.â The irony is that Iâve long been using this as a term of abuse for individuals, male or female, of dubious moral virtue, if you catch my drift.
		This term of abuse has come to encompass, over time, any and all individuals engaging in practices I find irksome, including, for example,
