A small piece of
worthless crap, a decorative knick knack with little or no purpose.
Side note: Chotchkie can be pretty, sentimental, or even occasionally useful though it usually breaks easily if useful. If you are having trouble identifying Chotchkie just look around your house or someone else's and
whatever you see that a burgler wouldn't
steal is probably Chotchkie.
Fake fruit, a ceramic
frog containing
candy, pretty much anything purchased at a dollar store, costume jewelry, etc. Referenced by Phoebie on the TV show
friends.
Meg loved her cow figurine collection, but Dave thought it was useless Chotchkie.
