I think it was something like 'shtum', which is either the phonetic version or the yiddish version. Smiler

Just to clear it up after invading the thread, the word is 'stumm' in German and 'shtum' in Yiddish and obviously in English. Big Grin



I'm staying schtum..... Ninja

As I'm German, I'm staying stumm. Big Grin


lol...You win Thumbs Up Laugh
Actually, I wasn't 100% certain of the spelling after I wrote it..it didn't 'look' right, but it's how I've always thought it was spelt.

I've now found out that there is yet another spelling of it shtoom and it apparently started being used in the crimanal community in the late '50's...Ninja

Good job the HL's show is over..or I might have been accused of going OT ! Laugh

Whoop!! *punches air*

It's a bastardisation of a German word. Thumbs Up Big Grin


The best german word... the german word I LOVE!! I can't spell at all. I have tried lots.. but I am not even close enough to get a google hit up.
