Chutz-what?

Chutzpah is a Yiddish word pronounced with a uvula-vibrating chhhhh-sound, followed by oot (rhymes with foot) and spa. If you snore, you have tons of experience making this sound without even realizing it.

Although chutzpah is defined as nerve or audacity, it can also refer to guts and nerve. It’s a fun word to say and a good way to clear your throat.
