<p>added additional text and links to remove from dead end page status</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A schtick (Yiddish : שטיק) (or shtick) is an expression which refers to a comic theme or gimmick. <br /> <br /> &quot;Schtick&quot; is derived from the Yiddish word &quot;שטיק&quot;, which itself is derived from the German word &quot;Stück&quot;, meaning &quot;piece&quot;. The English word &quot;piece&quot; itself is also sometimes used in a similar context. Another variant is &quot;bits of business&quot; or just &quot;bits&quot;, mannerisms such as Laurel and Hardy&#039;s fiddling with their ties, or one of them looking into the camera shaking his head while the other one would ramble on; or the countless little slapstick and nonsense routines perfected by The Three Stooges, especially by Curly.<br /> <br /> ==Schtick in the SCA==<br /> <br /> To give a more realistic and [[period]] feel to an [[event]], SCA members may think up a reason why one [[group]] may wish to fight another. As historically, battles where fought for a reason. For example: to enable a person or family to gain power, land or property.<br /> <br /> Many events in the SCA have a small skit or play to introduce the event. And may also have points through the day, or between [[Armored combat|combat]] scenarios, to further this story-line. Since SCA members are generally good humored, creative people these reasons are often very humorous.<br /> <br /> Schtick can also occur during [[court]] to give a story-line or background to events. This are most commonly related to [[coronation|coronations]] and [[peer|peerage]] elevations.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:terms]]</div>
