A 'Shiksa' is a Yiddish word that has been mixed into english usage, mostly by Jews. While the most basic definition is a derogatory word to call a gentile woman, it has many complexities behind it. Some would argue that a shiksa refers to a stereotypical, average, blond girl. It has been observed by many comedians and thinkers that such shiksas are often fetishized by male jews, and vice-versa.

Lenny Bruce wrote a short story on the subject of Shiksas.
