Vort for today: shvitzbad

Shvitzbad: steambath or Turkish bath. Often, simply called "the shvitz."

  • Knut might say "Let's get to the gym early enough to relax in the shvitz after our workout."
  • Ducky might say "Yes. In the shvitzbad those sauna women don't come in and put on their weird lotion shows."
