[Air-L] naches

[Stephen J Cavrak Jr]

Quoting Barry Wellman <wellman at chass.utoronto.ca>:
I'm astonished but one academic doesn't know what "naches" is.
Google, probably by best internet friend, tells me ...

NACHES: Joy. To "shep naches" means to derive pleasure. Jewish  
children are expected to
provide their parent with naches in the form of achievement.
