I didn't put the "Factual Accuracy" tag up, but I am the first to post to this discussion. I have nothing to contribute, since I know nothing about this topic. I'm going to go try to find someone who does... --Jpbrenna 19:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

In Bulgarian бакшиш (pronounced baksheesh) means tip in the conventional sense. It's also a (slightly derogatory?) way to refer to taxi drivers (as you are expected to round all sums you pay up). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.228.6.138 (talk • contribs).

I tried looking for this page by entering "backsheesh" in to the search engine. I feel this could be a common misspelling, and therefore nominate this new, though invented, spelling into the lexicon, pointing to the correct Wikipedia entry, Baksheesh. I only found this page by typing "Backshish," which is a gross misspelling of the correct form. We should correct this oversight.
