C. T. O. T. D.

Todays Chaptzem Post Title of the Day:
Chassidim bagleit R' Mordche Dovid
R' Mordche Dovid's Chassidim were out in full force last night to bagleit him home from Shul Motzei Yom Tov. After following him down 15th Avenue until 46th Street, his car turned off and continued towards 16th Avenue. The Chassidim however did not stop there. They continued down 15th Avenue, passing by the Bobover Shul. That was when R' Bentzion's Chassidim came and started shishkening the crowd. R' M. D.'s Chassidim continued quietly with no further incidents taking place.
I can't believe we live in a society where people can't just bagleit without being shishkened. It's really a disgrace.

Update: You absolutely MUST read the comments to this post on Chaptzem.

Translation, please? "begleit" and "shishken"?

Not a Yiddish speaker

Should the need arise, I am, of course, available at all times for any necessary Yiddish translations.

Oy, and two possible helpers have left us hanging - yungerman & godol hador, help!

Or did the author of this piece just MAKE THESE WORDS UP so they looked like they were Yiddish?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I would say shishkening means to ask to be quiet (as in shhh!). Bagleit means to accompany.
