Tukkas
4 Answers
Can anyone explain the phrase "covering their tukkas" (found in Douglas Kennedy's "Leaving the World")? It seems to mean something like business risks, maybe, but I can't even find it in the Urban Dictionary!
Answers
tukkas is yiddish for bum. The people in question are covering their ar**s

Woof is right (of course) but the word is actually spelled 'toches'. One source also gives the following phrase using the word..."A particularly interesting phrase using toches is 'toches ahfen tish'. Meaning "put up or shut up" it is, literally, "asses on the table." Okay, enough fooling around, toches ahfen tish!
