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.
