I found this on one of the Pause pages:

Q: What's the German word for the sound that LEGO elements make as you swish
your hands through them looking for the right piece?
A: GRUSCHTELING, which is pronounced groo-shte-ling. Sorry, as much as I would
like to have, I did not make that up. That was submitted by Ralph
Hempel...thanks Ralph!

Could someone be a little more specific on how to pronounce it?  Can be used
as in (like my father might say) "Quit gruschteling-ing around!!  I'm trying
to watch TV!!"
