A term for "glitter" in a language collectively referred to as "Bostonese" by fans of the New Kids on the Block. There are many words that can be translated into Bostonese by simply dropping an "-er" suffix and replacing it with "-ah." The origin of the word "Glittah" is said to have surfaced when NKOTB member Jonathan Knight went to hug a heavily embellished fan and then withdrew, saying "No glittah! No glittah!" for fear of getting glitter on his own clothing.
