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 Tchotchke just look around your
house or someone else's and
whatever you see that a burgler wouldn't steal is probably Tchotchke.
Fake fruit, a ceramic frog containing candy, pretty much anything purchased at a dollar store, costume jewelry, etc. Of Yiddish etymology and referenced by Phoebie on the TV show
friends.
Meg loved her
cow figurine collection, but Dave thought it was
useless Tchotchke.
