I guess I should have been watching more carefully so that I was prepared for this, although I didn't realize that I guessed the word, which made all the difference. I will have a word ready this evening EDT. Sorry for the delay.

Mike, I can't find this word anywhere, even knowing the definition. I know that zimmet is Yiddish for cinnamon but that was as close to klezmer as I could get.

Either I am losing my mind or the internet mad a phase change since I posted the word. I can't remember where I first saw the word, but I could swear I found that def using google. Now it's not there. I am bewildered (and a bit embarrassed).

Chiming in that I also looked up zimmet after voting and found this: "obligation, duty, contract, protection" Ottoman meaning, and was therefore thoroughly confused looking back at the options :)

Maybe music played on the zimmet is so catchy, anyone who listens has a duty to dance to it!

Maybe there will be a new musical: "Zimmeter on the Roof."
