(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. Its a heavy responsibility to have to be imposed with everyones lusty wants, hence, its 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. -

Kavorka is a musical term that refers to the interval of fourths in a scale. It is also known as the chord of fourths and is used in many genres such as jazz, blues and rock. The concept is that the four notes in a chord are all separated by one fourth, creating the sound of a chord that is harmonically rich.
