I always thought babchi was the Polish word for grandmother. And I thought babushka was the stereotypical scarf she wore to cover her hair. This of course was when she was kneading bread dough, for making babka.

Dobje for clarifying.
My ex called her Polish born grandmother "babcha" our kids were taught to call her "pra-babcha" as great grandmother. The general class of old women wearing scarves and shawls would be "babushka."

How about this- fuddy duddy.
It seems best paired with "old" as in an "old fuddy duddy". Sometimes I slang it to fuddy daddy, bc it also seems (in my usage, at least) to always be referring to a man.
Nomadicus, "hatch" as in come out of an egg or as in an escape hatch?
Was/is there another term [rather demeaning] known as 'puscunick'? [not closely related to the babushka, I hope.]
