      lol I see what you did there.

      For those curious, simchat means something like “rejoice” in Hebrew. It’s pronounced sim-khaat. Probably its most common usage to Jews around the world is as part of the name of the holiday Simchat Torah, when it’s customary to get absolutely shitfaced drunk and dance around with torahs. It marks the end of the reading of the torah, and the beginning of the reading of the torah. A very fun holiday.
