What?? Tchotchke (pronounced chotskee)... you know nick nacks around the house; like the greens around this lamp. You may or may not have heard of the term, it is used often when decorating a house. A designer or decorator may say "We need some more Tchotchke to finish off this space." When I first heard that I thought not on your life will I do that to a room. But then my lack of a good vocabulary didn't allow me to know what the decorator was talking about. Now that I know the word I feel like a big shot. But try working that into a conversation--it's not that easy. Just remember when selling your home. Let's have some good Tchotchke around the house, after all who likes lousy Tchotchke anyway.
