Hi,
[...] ferkakte [...]
As a German, I'm now torn apart between being flattered that we've
successfully exported a German word to the U.S. and being
speechlessly shocked by the way spelling was b0rked in the process.
I believe that it's actually Yiddish.
yup:

still my bet would be that this Yiddish word has Germanic origins….
Here we see one of the *good* things about having an I-D cutoff
deadline. One finally finds time to do /other/ things ;-)
