We ran into a bunch of children at Elba this morning who kept coming up to us and saying "Bakshish? Bakshish." Confused, we said goodbye and kept going.
It got worse later, with a group of boys following us all around the backside of the tell Yelling "Bak-SHEEESH!" Boys 200m away would scream "Bak-SHI-ASH!" from the other end of the tell as well. They especially loved harassing M.
Our driver says "Backshish" means "money" or "tip."

Well you have gone from the shouting of "donkey" to "backshish." At least you found out what backshish means rather quickly.
