Poonem

A few months ago I told Thurm what a cute "pudem" he had. Face. He laughed and said it wasn't a real word and that I just made it up. But I swore that I had heard it some where and that people used it. Over the months, we've asked our friends, no one has heard of it. I googled it, couldn't find anything. And tonight, I had a REVELATION! It's Yiddish!!! I looked it up in a Yiddish dictionary and there it was, not "pudem" exactly, but "poonem." YAY! My word is a real word! (Thurm is laughing at me that I'm blogging about this).
