That's a word I've never heard referring to a common practice. I am really not kvetching about it. It is only an observation. Something learned each day means I am still young. Thank you for your post.
"Kvetch, an English word of Yiddish origin meaning 'to gripe', 'someone who complains habitually'
In Yiddish, kvetch means “to press,” or “to squeeze,” whereas in English, it has come to mean “to complain.” "
An example of Kvetching: "This restaurant is lousy. The food stinks and the portions are too small."
Not my original example, I used it. Didn't claim it was mine so stop kvetching!
