bucksheesh — I have learned a new word. Thanks.
According to Wiki:
Baksheesh (from Persian: بخشش bakhshesh[1]) is tipping, charitable giving, and certain forms of political corruption and bribery in the Middle East and South Asia.
Origins and usage[edit]
Baksheesh comes from the Persian word بخشش (bakhshesh), which originated from the Pahlavi (Middle Iranian) language.[2] It is further traced back to Sanskrit "Bhiksha" or "Bheeks" which has the same meaning.
The word had also moved westward. In the Albanian, Serbian, Bulgarian, Romanian, Russian, Macedonian, and Turkish languages, bakshish or бакшиш means "tip" in the conventional western sense. In Greek, μπαξίσι (baksisi) can mean a gift in general. In German and French, Bakschisch is a small bribe (in Romanian as well, depending on the context; usually employed as a euphemism to şpagă, which means outright bribe).
