Chutzpah




Definition: (Yiddish) unbelievable gall; insolence; audacity. From
wordnet.princeton.edu/perl/webwn.


Example: Showing up at the hospital way after your parent's pacemaker procedure is over, having the floor nurse interrupt the doctor in the middle of someone else's pacemaker procedure, and wanting to know.....

NOT how your parent did during the procedure;

NOT what to expect for a recovery period;

NOT how it will affect him for the rest of his life;

but would the doctor come up to the floor to write a note to the airline so you could get a medical discount on your ticket.
