  • A former girlfriend from NY used a Yiddish word I can't find that sounded similar - every time she saw a scab being picked, or a thread being pulled at that might threaten to "unravel the whole thing", she'd say "Don't micher it!" A person who "can't leave things alone" was a "micherer". I'd like to learn the conventional spelling and etymology, whether Germanic or otherwise.
