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. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the word of the day; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....
Teacher's note:
On Monday, I gave this word as an alternate for some students. It's all in good fun, but you do know that I get irked sometimes.
kvetch\KVECH\, intransitive verb:
kvetch, noun
To complain habitually.
noun:
1. A complaint.
2. A habitual complainer.
Etymology: Kvetch comes from Yiddish kvetshn, "to squeeze, to complain," from Middle High German quetzen, quetschen, "to squeeze."

Yeah, it's pretty gross, but you get used to it. The worst is in August, when it's hot.

Filament? Anode? Is Maxie making vacuum tubes? No, Maxie is making electron-bombardment-ionized Ne+ ions for an ion beam.

[Better late than never?]Having never experienced an original thought of her own, the junior Senator* from NY whiles away the hours kvetching about the adept strategery of the Bush administration.

Kvetch, huh? Hmmmm, that is an easy one! Lately, on every street corner, website, channel and in every newspaper, the only thing we have heard for the last three months since the elections is a very loud and non-stop KVETCH from the Democrats.

No, Maxie is making electron-bombardment-ionized Ne+ ions for an ion beam. That sounds like way more fun than the way I utilized my many long years of engineering school education today -- checking that a (long) list of changes to a 500+ page technical standard were made correctly.
