kibbitz

Giving unwanted advice or suggestion or even comments.

Like people standing over your shoulder while you are playing chess and they are like talking about your game and making comments and you want to kill them but you turn and say.. "take your kibbitzing elsewhere thank you."

kibitz

To sit in on a conversation, meeting, card-game or online chat and offer unsolicited, informal comments. The original meaning from Yiddish (kibitzen, derived from German kiebitzen - to be an onlooker or spectator) had a negative connotation of being a busybody or giving intrusive, meddlesome, unwanted advice. However, in contemporary US usage, it has become friendlier.

She's meeting with some suits this afternoon, do you want to come kibitz and liven things up?

I'm not here as a formal participant, I'm just kibitzing.

Quit kibitzing! I know how to play Texas hold 'em.

Kibbutz

A kibbutz is an Israeli concept of a farm-residence. The basic principle is that anyone can come in, stay and be fed, as long as they work towards the upkeep of the kibbutz. One can stay for two days or for a lifetime. There are 278 kibbutzim (plural of kibbutz) in Israel. They are often strictly Orthodox Jewish - requiring no work to be done on Shabbat , for example. They are the basic Communist template, because often no money is exchanged in the residence/farming transactions.
