Odd question-
During the "Miracle Max" scene, Billy Crystal calls his wife a name, while she runs after him, taunting him with the name "Humperdink."

It sounds like he says, "Shtigen" or something like that, which I am guessing is Yiddish.

In case you need a refresher:
The word comes up at about 3:28 of the clip.

Anybody know what this word means or how it is spelled? This has been bugging me for awhile.

shtikn is yiddish for choke, could that be it? I also used yiddishdictionaryonline.com so if you don't think that is it look for yourself.
