- schmier, schmeer, smear
- A currently popular slang expression meaning "everything" is "the Whole schmier (or schmeer or smear)." It is not clear what spelling is intended or correct. The most common spelling is smear, a word defined as meaning "an oily substance" and "a smudge, spot, or stain." Schmier is a variant form adapted from the German word for smear cheese, or Schmierkäse (cottage cheese). Schmeer is a slang term for persons and things (possibly the meaning closest to the aforementioned phrase itself) and a colloquial word meaning "to bribe." However the expression is spelled, it is both slangy and trite and should be used rarely, if at all.
