Thanks again for your comments, everybody. I really am so happy to back for ANTM5 with all of you.

I'm no Yiddish expert, but I believe its Tuchas...

Oy meshuggenah! I'm glad you guys are all finding the deliberate mistakes I put my recaps simply to test if you're really reading (yeah right, that's the ticket! ) but in this case my "tuchis" is perfectly acceptable (funny if taken out of context! )

You'll find there are several acceptable spellings.

Q: Where does the word "tuckus" originate? (I'm not sure about the spelling, but I mean "tuckus" as in 'He has a nice tuckus.')

A: This is one of those words that comes to us from the Yiddish language. Like in your example, it means butt or bottom. As for spelling, I find several in different sources, including tuckus, tuchas, tuches, tokhes, tochus, tuchis, and toches. Tokhes seems to be the most common in Yiddish sources, with tuckus seemingly more frequent in goyim references.

Yes, I admit it! I am worshipping at your "twisted" take on the whole ANTM world! Just keep nailing the high points, and I'll keep reading!

Sorry, UPN, we don't need to watch, we can just read Snowy's recaps!
