Baksheesh

bak·sheesh - Persian: a payment of money as a gratuity for good service, an acknowledgement to a holy figure, or bribe to make things go quicker or easier.

Found, inexplicably, when searching for oesophagus (which, in turn, was prompted by Planet Karen). Wikipedia is both amusing and highly "non-encyclopedic".

Wow you read Planet Karen‽ She's like a female version of me (though I don't live in Bristol anymore (or draw comics)).

Interrobang‽ Wow, you're the first person I've seen use that conversationally!

Uh, right. Anyway: yeah, I read Planet Karen - she's cool. You used to live in Bristol?
