I don't remember that.

We definitely did.

Yeah, never knew that until yesterday.

That's right.

If you look back in the Middle Ages in Europe, well, there's a bunch of awful things going on.

But one of the fun things was a trend of creating nativity scenes.

They were called, I guess, creches.

And you know what a nativity scene is.

They're little dioramas of the scene of the birth of Jesus in a manger.

And the Moravians saw those and they were like, hold my molasses cookie because we're going to kick this up a notch.

And they kicked it up such a notch that the Germans created a term basically for that notch of these crutches, these Moravian crutches called a putz.

It means to put out or decorate.

And putzing was the act of doing this.

Nothing to do with the Yiddish term you're a putz or putzing about.

No, because a putz is sort of a fool and putzing about is kind of doing foolish things.

Is that not true?

That's the original.

That's the OG meaning.

Yes, you are correct.

Yeah, they're like, where am I going to put the manger repair guy?
