What is kibitz?

Kibitz is a Yiddish word that means to offer unsolicited advice or commentary, typically in a social or competitive setting, such as a card game or sports event. It is often used in a humorous or lighthearted way and can imply a certain level of interference or meddling. The term has been adopted into English and is widely used in casual conversation to describe someone who is excessively talkative or nosy. In some contexts, kibitzing can be seen as a form of social bonding or a way to establish camaraderie among peers.
