Schmear
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Schmear" is a word of Yiddish origin, which is the historic name of cream cheese spread upon a bagel.
Originally, the usage of the word schmear, or shmear, referred to a spread of cream cheese on a bagel. In modern usage it has extended to anything that can be spread, and in some cases refers to "an entire set or group of related things", or the expression "the whole shmear". [1]
