Farsi of the day

Today's Farsi is "baksheesh." It means--oh, tip, or alms, or "money, please." It's what the peasants beg archaeologists and tourists for in every murder mystery and archaeological tale, true and fictional.
I chose it for today's word because I had a splendid bit of paper, just the right size for labeling something, and was flipping through the dictionary for an interesting word of some sort. "Baksheesh" caught my eye--I glanced with wild surmise over at a quarter which a patient had randomly given me last week, which was obstructing my phone display--I put them together. Voila!

I mean, a Montana quarter is decently cool, but it's altogether cooler when you can call it baksheesh and mean it.
