Re: MTA Demands Slice of the Action at Brooklyn Bagel Shop or Else

'Clearly, "shmear" and the english "smear" have a common root.'

In Danish, 'smor' (with a slash through the o, pronounced like the German o-umlaut) is the actual word for butter. Hence 'smorrebrod' (buttered bread) as the name for open-faced sandwiches in Danish.
