Word For The Day, September 25, 2012

---

In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of "Word for the Day".

kvetch [kvech]

-vi

to complain, especially chronically.

[1960–65, Americanism ; < Yiddish kvetshn literally, to squeeze, pinch; compare Middle High German, German quetschen]

[SoothingDave]

Kvetch and kvell.

[xsmommy]

Hola

[tioga]

Ann Coulter was kvetching about Chrissy Matthews just now on Fox and Friends. Claims the FPL is a racist because there was NO ONE at his son’s wedding who was black. Not one, yet he calls every Republican a racist. Where are his black friends, certainly not invited to his son’s wedding.

[xsmommy]

oh i need to see wedding photos, want to see what Caroline looks like now. She’s the little sis.

[xsmommy]

no wedding pix but family pix. Ok so this was the one in Africa, because AIDS in africa was always a huge charity thing at Visitation because of him. the other brother is an "actor"....

[secret garden]

There will be kvetching all season about how the idiot ref raised his hands inappropriately and decided the outcome of this game.

[secret garden]

I’m still aghast that after the replay, they decided it was a TD for Seattle. Tate clearly should have been flagged for pass interference and having one arm touching a ball that is clutched to Jennings chest, the one who caught and brought down the ball in an obvious interception, is NOT simultaneous possession.

[tioga]

I don’t know where she saw the pics, but she mentioned pics of the entire church with no blacks in sight.

[secret garden]

Typical limousine liberal, all talk and blatherskite.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

While trying to teach the word “kvetch” to some friends of the non-Jewish persuasion, I was surprised to discover how much difficulty they encountered in keeping the pronunciation to one syllable. Most of them would say “ka-vetch,” unable to mouth the K and the V simultaneously. Is that universal among Gentiles, or am I surrounded by linguistically impaired friends?

[count-your-change]

kvetch

A kind of Yiddish tomato sauce called kvetch up when it proves impossible to keep down.

[xsmommy]

muslims won't kvetch about a pork/bacon shortage.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Barack loves to cavil and kvetch
Mainstream lapdogs jump when he says, “fetch”
But his words have no meaning
Save to hide Commie leaning
To the right, he’s an SNL sketch

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

Chrissy loves the tingle
But hates to mingle

[xsmommy]

OMG the bed intruder has moved to Washington state!! go and tell THAT, homeboy!

[SoothingDave]

The officiating is just horrible. The final two drives by the Ravens Sunday night were aided by phantom defensive holding calls.

[left that other site]

Instead of Kvetching about Romney’s Religion, let’s just get RID of You-Know-Who.

[tioga]

America's school kids are already hungry.......MO better watch her step, they are on to her stingy ways. Ways for thee and not for me, as she would say.

[xsmommy]

LUDICROUS!!!!!!!!!!
