For use as female as sex object, see:

'Guests began leaving an hour before midnight. I looked about for Binky
Watrous and his Celtic knish but they had already departed.'

--Lawrence Sanders, 'McNally's Puzzle', G. Putnam's Sons, NY, 1996, 56


Howard Jacobson [an immensely amusing/entertaining novelist] has a character
in 'No More Mr Nice Guy' [Vintage, London, 1999, 98] say:

"Kuk the knish -- go on, get an eyeful of the cunt."


--Neil Crawford
