Sometimes when people want to dismiss things as unimportant or uninteresting, they'll repeat the word but with a 'shm' sound at the beginning, to show they're not taking it seriously.
'Food shmood, let's get some drinks instead!'
'Meeting shmeeting, I think he's just avoiding me.'
'Canada shmanada!'
As you can probably tell this isn't a rule, it's just a thing people do and with some words it doesn't work too well! |
