To birr is to make a whirring sound, especially if it's created through some kind of rapid motion. Thanks to English's quirky spelling, it's pronounced the same as "burr" or even "brr!" Something birring might even produce a bit of vibration.
Example: The remote-control helicopter began to birr as its spinning blades lifted it into the air.
A klatsch is an informal get-together where people chat, catch up, and maybe even gossip a little. A klatsch usually has a relaxed vibe, like friends swapping stories over coffee. Your phone might be full of group texts, but there's still nothing better than a good klatsch.
Example: The new mothers met for a monthly klatsch to share stories and trade tips.
