Reply to ""Layout" resume's"

When I was a kid in Baltimore MD back in the 50's, they were called "Christmas Gardens" irregardless of the season or permanence . Nowadays, I call mine a layout. The first time I heard it called a Putz, I nearly fell over: the word has a different meaning in Yiddish.

 

Yeah - that word had a different meaning in my crowd, too. You didn't have to be Jewish (we were largely WASPs) to know it and use it in its less, ah, genteel meaning. Still makes me chuckle when I see it used to refer to a train layout or similar display.
