Kath 

An uninvited verbal intervention regarding a strangers' behavior around issues such as sustainability, global awareness, or personal liberation. 'Kaths' are usually gentle, but can be forceful. Typically, 'Kaths' immediately annoy, but they are offered - often courageously, often ridiculously - in the hope that the more reflective come to appreciate their logic.

A mild 'Kath': "Please don't litter - I don't want to live in your wastebasket".
More forceful: "Take off the veil!", as, say, in 35C heat, one peddles past a burka wearer walking well behind a summer-casual-dressed male on the bike path.
