(Kibitzer) I heard it again today, NO it wasn't in reference to me...It was a colleague.
It is one of those words that I occasionally hear and that have never taken the time to truly understand. Until now.
*In any case, I strive to never ever be referred to as a Kibitzer.
In my book, it's a nice way of calling someone a cheating, meddling, un solicted advise wielding buffoon.

I wonder who that could have been. There are so many at that place you work who fit that word, unfortunately.
I will say that there does seem to be quite a gathering of Kibitzers at my place of employment. However, I am certain that if you go to a church social, school fund raiser or even down to the local pub for a pint (or five)... you would find your fair share of Kibitzers.
