... hope no one minds...?? My wife, who is Jewish, was chatting with her brother, and she used the Yiddish word for unkempt ("verklemt"). I know there's a Cajun equivalent -- my mom used to use it to describe me when my hair wasn't combed right or my clothes were askew (which was frequently), but for the life of me I can't remember what it is. Does anyone know the word I'm referring to? cheers, Gordon
