I know what I talk about. Use other sources than just Langenscheidt. And the alleged translation from you German wife - how old was she when she left Germany, 10? - certainly doesn't belong to the spoken language here.

"Schmuck" is a pice of Jewelry, no more, no less. Unless you communicate in Yiddish, that is...

"So you looked it up in your 'Langenscheidt', great."

I didn't look it up. Your obsession with online resources is sort of odd. But, certainly consistent with you other obsessions. There are meds for that, you know.

I got it from my wife. If you want to quibble with the definition, take it up with her. I am sure that as a native German, her command of the language is far inferior to yours...

Its amazing the minutia they are willing to fight over.
