@RestlessFickleBookHoarder I hope I‘m not to late to enter your #giveawaykerfuffle
Cockamamie makes me laugh whenever it comes up! Can you imagine a teacher using this in a room of middle schoolers? Congrats on passing 90K!

Sace Thanks. I think I might fave used it in front of high school students.....once (and never again 🤣) 5y

tournevis Cockamamie is a transliteration of décalcomanie, same root as decal‽ Wow. That's amazing. Thank you for this. I love etymology! 5y

Chrissyreadit @tournevis I love that you love it! 🙌👏🙌🥰 5y

Clare-Dragonfly The podcast Lexicon Valley did an episode (several years ago) on cockamamie and it‘s origins! @tournevis 5y

The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror Hoodoo Voodoo Brouhaha | Matt Groening

Congrats on the milestone @RestlessFickleBookHoarder & what a fun & unique giveaway concept! Like most readers I have a fondness for unusual words & brouhaha has been a personal favorite for years. It always brings me immense pleasure when I have successfully snuck it into a conversation. #giveawaykerfuffle

Sace I like to say it like it's a villain laugh 😂 5y

RohitSawant Nice one! One of my fav words is Tsujigiri, Japanese for trying out a new samurai sword on a random passer by at night. Much harder to sneak into a conversation. 😆 5y

Thanks @RestlessFickleBookHoarder for the chance to win in your #giveawaykerfuffle! Congratulations on the milestone! 🎉 I love the word lollygag, because I think it is such a great description for aimless meandering. 😂

Sace And I always associate it with parental annoyance (I can neither confirm nor deny I was a lollygagging child.) 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I use this word so much!! 🤣🤣 5y

CoffeeNBooks @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks It's such a great word!! 😂 5y

CoffeeNBooks @MicheleinPhilly 😂🤣😂 5y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @MicheleinPhilly exactly!! 5y

kellyann28 Hahaha I use this word with my 4 year old to get her to hurry up. I say "Quit lollygagging!" Makes it sound a little less demanding ? 5y

Congratulations on your milestone @RestlessFickleBookHoarder! Thanks for hosting this #giveawaykerfuffle! 😂

Do meme words count? Because I love this word and it always makes me smile. It also made me ridiculously happy when I started watching the Overwatch League with my boyfriend and discovered that “boop” is an actual term used by the casters (in a serious manner). I laughed... a lot. I still do. 😂

Sace I say meme words count! We "boop" our cats all the time! 5y

Malarkey | Keith Gray

#GiveawayKerfuffle Congrats on your Litfluence @RestlessFickleBookHoarder

As a born and bred Philly girl I think I have a pretty finely tuned BS detector. And I‘m not shy about calling it like I see it. And I‘m also not shy about giggling every time I hear someone (cough Joe Biden cough) say, “Oh that‘s a bunch of malarkey!” Personally I would just say, “Oh that‘s a load of bullshit!” but do you, Joe. 👍🏼

BarbaraBB 😂 5y

Sace Omigosh you're hilarious! "You do you, Joe" ? Thanks for playing! 5y

ValerieAndBooks Wow that takes me back many years ago — my childhood dentist was a Dr. Malarkey. AND he referred me to an oral surgeon for some work, Dr. Wisdom . 😂🦷 5y
