(Pronounced Kah-vor-kah) The Kavorka is a word which originated from the Latvian Orthodox. It means "the lure of the animal". It is described as a curse, making someone irresistible to anyone of the opposite sex, even attractive to the same sex, as people will be naturally drawn to you. It's a heavy responsibility to have to be imposed with everyone's lusty wants, hence, it's consideration as a curse. People will want to be with you, be like you, be you.
It has been made famous by an episode of the sitcom, Seinfeld. In this episode, called "The Conversion", Kramer discovers he is affected by the Kavorka, he solves this by some religious ceremony, which results in him having a terrible odor, thus, being unattractive to women. This 'breaks' the curse.
"Emaly, I can't believe two guys asked you out in one night!"
"I know, I must have the Kavorka!"

Supposedly a Latvian word meaning "Lure of the animal."<br>
This is untrue. (Source, my Father a native Latvian)<br>
This made-up term was popularized on an episode of "Seinfeld" called "The Conversion" where the character Kramer converted to the Latvian Orthodox Church.<br>
In real life, approximately two-third of Latvians are Lutheran and about a third Catholic. A small minority are Russian Orthodox or Jewish.<br>
If the Latvian Orthodox Church actually exists in any form it would be a very small minority.
"Kavorka! It's a Latvian word meaning 'Lure of the animal'"
