Is it with an "O" or an "A"???

When I was a child, my mother would had her own "alternate" language. Little words she used, sometimes in leiu of cursing, to describe some everyday things.

Some examples:

Schmotz: nothing.
Example: I can't see schmotz!

Doo-pa: ass, butt.
Example: He's got such a cute doo-pa!

Gauche: tacky.
Example: That outfit is so gauche!

Because we've known each other entirely too long to discuss the mundane, Julz and I were talking about my mother's use of the word GAUCHE last night and she rocked my world by informing me that it is spelled with an A and not an O (gouche). I had always spelled it with an O (notice my label from yesterday's "gayelle" post). I have to admit, I felt a little silly not knowing how to spell one of Mom's most over-used words (if you know me at all, you know spelling is one of my things).

Julz decided to look the word GOUCHE (with an "O") up on UrbanDictionary.com (because I was still convinced I had been spelling it correctly all these years). Once she got to the site, all I heard was intense laughter. I could barely make out what she was reading to me once she found the definition of gOuche:

1. gouche: the area between the genitalia and the anus.
Example: I punched him hard in the gouche

2. Gouche: The Part Thats Between A Guys Balls And His Ass *Very Sensative*
Example: Ha Ha They Electrocuted His Gouche

3. gouche: the small area between a males ball sack and his anus
There was no example here, but do we really need one at this point?

I'm still laughing this morning about this "new" word I learned! The examples urbandictionary.com gives are priceless!

Mom would be so proud.......how gauche!
