If someone tells you about some new improvement to a program,

you might respond: "Feetch, feetch!" The meaning of this depends

critically on vocal inflection. With enthusiasm, it means

something like "Boy, that's great! What a great hack!" Grudgingly

or with obvious doubt, it means "I don't know; it sounds like

just one more unnecessary and complicated thing". With a tone of

resignation, it means, "Well, I'd rather keep it simple, but I

suppose it has to be done".
