Explanation

The Chinese term 'kwai-tsze' literally means 'quick little fellows' and refers to chopsticks. Chopsticks have been used in China for over 3,000 years and are the traditional eating utensils. They were invented because cutting food into small pieces allowed it to cook faster, conserving fuel - hence the 'quick' reference.
