What is a Schmuck domain (at Sedo)?

[DomainMayhem.com]

I have some hacks, and there doesn't seem to be a category for them at Sedo other than Schmuck, which I think may be what I'm looking for. Is this correct?

 

[Jammer]

I always thought that schmuck meant not good

I had sort of come to the conclusion that it meant late-night-TV-sales-type of domain names -- the kind where they're selling to a "schmuck."

For example: TheAmazingMiracleCleaner.com (just made it up...could be real, didn't check)

I could be wrong, though...

hmmm, schmuck = jewellery ... gold, silver (rings), watches, diamond parts
so any domain named previous DONT fit that category

Jammer: schmuck isnt good for mens, but girls love it

I guess I won't use the category then. Thanks.

I think that's sort of what I had in mind...QVC shopping kind of stuff. You're right, it's jewellery, more specifically.

schmuck in my part of the world means idiot/stupid

American heritage dictionary:
n. Slang
A clumsy or stupid person; an oaf.

Same in this part of the world too. I was wondering why they have that as a category at Sedo. The above posters have answered my question, though.

That's how I originally saw it too -- thought it was an odd name for a category of domains. Not one I'd be too proud to say that I specialized in. But who knows...they probably make a ton of money.

That's what I thought initially. After asking the question last year Bluesman enlightened me. See here .

Hmmm, yes you can strech meaning of 'schmuck' to that, but its very very creative. If i find some minutes of time i will ask sedo about that.

schmuck domain means non-sense domains , "stupid" domains , weird-letter-combination domains or seemingly meaningless domains ...



you can verify this by checking the other (sub)categories in the same category ("Other") ... 24hour names , @Domains , Acronyms , 3 Characters , 4 Characters , 4+ Characters , Phrases , Numbers , Uncategorized ... they are all "word"/"character"-specific (sub)categories that's why the are under "Other" ... while ALL the other categories (and subcategories) in SEDO are "industry"/"meaning"-specific ...



it is not jewellery (jewelry) because there is a Jewelry (sub)category in the Consumer Goods category ...
and it is not domains with dashes , because the (sub)category would probably be called "Dashes" or "Dashed Domains" ... plus there are many domains in the scmuck category that are not dashed ... while most ARE just weird letter combination names , which means that most people consider schmuck domains as non-sense , silly domains (just like the word schmuck means stupid , dufus , silly , etc)



definition of schmuck (wikipedia)









irrelevant with all this ... a "Domain Hack" subcategory in the Other category might be a good idea for SEDO ...

definition of schmuck -> (wikipedia) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmuck

 

[Earthian]

the categories in SEDO are in English and not in German ... therefore the english expression would apply and not the German meaning/expression ...



plus , there is a jewelry (sub)category in Consumer Goods category (as I said before) ... and gold/jewelry/etc would fit better in Consumer Goods than Other (mostly "word"/"character"-related domains ... 3 Character , 4 Character , Acronyms , etc)



lastly , the word in German translates to "decoration" , which again would fit better in the Consumer Goods category ... jewelry subcategory , if the domain was intended for jewelry ... or ... general subcategory (or furniture subcategory) , if the domain was intended for decoration , ornaments , etc ...

Sorry, but I can't read German. I saw this category on Sedo but always wondered what it was.

As far as my understanding a Schmuck was someone who is a bit of a smarta**. Never thought it was jewelry

 

[Dotmainer]

ah ... yeah, there are some words that have totaly different meanings,

my favorite is: Gift (ger.) = poison (eng.)

I hate Sedo's categories (which were made by a bunch of schmucks IMO). I and others have made many suggestions to update their categories. I know other people have asked them to move the .mobi up to the "common" extensions listing in their domain search section. Can they fix this one simple error? Apparently not. :td:

(waiting for reply from Sedo...)

I just want to say, good luck.

 

[Dotmainer]

(mail sent today in morning, now get reply ... so respect to Sedo !)

Response from Sedo:
"Als sog. Schmuckdomains bezeichnet man Domain-Namen, bei denen jeder
einzelne Buchstabe durch einen Bindestrich getrennt ist. Also etwa s-e-x.de
oder h-a-n-s.com. Die Buchstaben bilden dabei quasi die Perlen, die an einer
Kette aus Bindestrichen aufgereiht werden. Deshalb die etwas ungewöhnliche
Bezeichnung "Schmuckdomain"."

Translation would be that its for domains like h-a-n-s.com, so letters are like pearls in (chain?) necklace (which falls under jewlery )

But they use that in how domain LOOKs and not what about domain is.

 

[Earthian]

therefore , according to that SEDO rep , the definition bluesman gave was correct ... that schmuck domains are domains with dashes in-between the letters ...


even though that explanation derives from the german word for decoration (jewelry) ... schmuck domains are not regarding jewelry domains as in the commodity/product ...







therefore ...


bluesman was correct about the type of domains ...


zoki was correct about the origin of the word schmuck and ...


I was correct about the type of subcategories the Other category has (subcategories based on "word"/"character" instead of "industry"/"meaning")







[j/k] furthermore , I was correct about the value of those domains ... since everybody knows that domains with so many hyphens are basically non-sense :lol: [/j/k]

I'm with you -- they have the lamest categories ever. Not even an entry for "videogames," just to name one of many glaring omissions.
