What is a "Kerschmatka" ? (Polish word)

[BrainRants]

My Polish grandpa used to use the word to describe little kids. We think it's a Polish word, and that spelling is probably wrong.


Pronounced: Ker-shmot-kuh

Ker as in "Current"
Schmot as in "Marge Schott" with an M
and Kuh as in "polka"

Anyone know how it's spelled or the offical translation?

Thanks in advance!

1. Polish for 'smack-down'; as in Gen Clark really put the kerschmatka on 'em

Nah, I just made that up

2. It makes sense

when talking about my kids as in "You little Kerschmatka, wait until your dad gets home, he's going to Kerschmatka you!" :)
