kib�itz Pronunciation (kbts) intr.v. kib�itzed, kib�itz�ing, kib�itz�es Informal 1. To look on and offer unwanted, usually meddlesome advice to others. 2. To chat; converse. Bill D: Sorry, it is I who needed the primer on Yiddish. "Kibitz" is closer to your meaning than I thought. I knew about the "look on" (in a nosy way) but I didn't know about the "offer...advice" part. That's what happens when you try to infer meaning from context without actually looking it up. I hope you can read this; I'm using an unfamiliar computer.
