gritch /grich/ [MIT] 1. n. A complaint (often caused by a glitch). 2.
   vi. To complain. Often verb-doubled: "Gritch gritch". 3. A synonym for
   glitch (as verb or noun).

   Interestingly, this word seems to have a separate history from
   glitch, with which it is often confused. Back in the early 1960s, when
   `glitch' was strictly a hardware-tech's term of art, the Burton House
   dorm at M.I.T. maintained a "Gritch Book", a blank volume, into which
   the residents hand-wrote complaints, suggestions, and witticisms.
   Previous years' volumes of this tradition were maintained, dating back
   to antiquity. The word "gritch" was described as a portmanteau of
   "gripe" and "bitch". Thus, sense 3 above is at least historically
   incorrect.
