️ My Bubbe’s Forecast: 88° and mostly cloudy—schtum weather, like it’s up to something. ️
Schtum (sometimes spelled shtum) is a Yiddish word—borrowed into British slang—that means silent, quiet, or keeping one’s mouth shut (often sneakily).
So if someone’s staying schtum, they’re not talking—maybe to avoid trouble or because they know more than they’re letting on.
In the forecast, calling the weather schtum means it looks quiet and cloudy… but you don’t quite trust it. Like it’s holding something back. Sneaky sky! ️
