"Sheitel" is a word on the national spelling bee! Well, at least I can spell one of these words.

Ooh, I'd have to be careful even trying to pronounce that! :) How does it go?

Shay-tel. Easy-peasy!

It's a yiddish word, means a wig that a married orthodox women uses as a hair covering for modesty.

Now if only I could remember what that meant (all those years of playing Oy Vey bingo should have stuck, but apparently not...)

*notices above comment* I'd never have remembered that one.

Well, considering that my sister wears one, it would be odd for me not to remember. :)

When "tichel" makes it, then we'll *know* Yiddish has made the mainstream. :-)

Hee, yes!
