Tchotchke...
…(typically pronounced as “Chach-Kee”) — originally from a Slavic word for “toys” - are small gewgaws, knickknacks, baubles, lagniappes, trinkets, or kitsch. The term has a connotation of worthlessness or disposability, as well as tackiness, and was long used in the Jewish-American community and in the regional speech of New York City.
And didn’t Thom Yorke used to use this as an online pseudonym..?
