Googling suggests a Czech interjection.

Or either Polish, one.
Although one would expect rav to know it if it were.

Now I started wondering if the spelling had been all right.. I thought the word was some kind of Indians' greeting, 'peace brothers' or the like. But Czech or Polish interjection? I'm confused ;P

Czech or Polish interjection?Googling turns up a bunch of Czech and Polish sites, but it also seems to be a Family name. http://koziolek.pl/knajpy.php?like=*&from=0&id=1Scroll down to ex-bywalec.

Faldage!!
Shame on you ;P Hope you don't understand what have they written (or do you?) ;)
It's used as a greeting there. I'm asking about it because I used to use the word as greeting too and have been recently told that the meaning is slightly different. But noone would explain me what is the proper one :o
