What's it mean to eat gebrokts?

Yiddish for “broken,” gebrokt describes Passover food that is prepared with matzah or matzah meal. Specifically, people who abstain from eating gebrokts are looking to avoid matzah that has touched water after being baked. The concern is that the matzah might have had small amounts of dry flour in it that did not bake into the dough, which would become chametz (bread) upon contact with water.
