Shiksa is a Yiddish word that has been mixed into English usage, mostly by Jews. While the simplest definition is a pejorative word for a gentile woman, it has many complexities behind it. Some would argue that "shiksa" refers to a stereotypical, average, blonde girl. It has been observed by many comedians and thinkers that such shiksas are often fetishized by Jewish men, and vice-versa.
"Shiksa" is derived from the Hebrew term "sheketz" which means either "detestable", "loathed" or "blemish" depending on the translator.
Lenny Bruce wrote a short story on the subject of shiksas.
