Kvetch Kvetch - It means to complain. But to get a better idea, read the following.. A man gets onto a train and he's going to New York to Philadelphia. Opposite of him sits an older Jewish man who gets into his chair, sits back down and as soon as the train pulls out of the station, leans back into his chair, look at the ceiling and goes "Oy! Am I thirsty!". 10 seconds pass, and says it again: "Oy! Am I thirsty!". By the time he gets to the third "Oy! Am I thirsty!", the person sitting opposite of him knows there is no hope. He's stuck with this unless he gets up and does something about it. So he makes his way down to the end of the train where they have the lil thing of water with the connicle paper cups. He pulls down a cup, and he fills it up with water, turns around, starts to walk back down the corridor of the moving train and stops and thinks for a second. He turns back and gets a second paper cup of water. So now he's walking down the middle of the train, balancing two of these cone shaped cups, trying desperately not to spill anything on himself or the innocent passengers that are sitting along the way. This man, with the cups, hands one to the old man, who looks at him with eyes filled with gratitude and swallows it. He has a big grin of gratitude on his face. But before he could say or do anything, the other man hands him the other cup, and says "Here, drink this one too." 30 seconds later, the old man, pushes himself back in the chair, looks up at the ceiling again, and says "Oy! Was I thirsty!" http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5048943
