For Writer Mom...
Gran's on Bran Piffle and spice
Piffle means:
- To talk or act feebly or futilely.
- Something that does not have or make sense
- Foolish or futile talk or ideas; nonsense.
I'm happy with any of these similar words:
balderdash, fiddle-faddle, hokum, meaninglessness, nonsense, nonsensicality, blabber, prattle, twaddle, gabble, gibberish
Qualifier:
This doesn't mean that anything I write is not true. Just that I do not pretend this is some heavy and serious political blog and sometimes I want to just be silly. I think I'm that! :-)
Original Comments:
Oh I do like twaddle.
And hokum,
and claptrap and hogwash!

You've been watching that tv prog haven't you? I've wanted to but it's always clashed with something that The Governess of The Remote needs (needs not wants) to watch...
A few favourite words include:
Apostolic
Plinth
Laminate
Why? Who knows...

Thanks, Doris!
And now that I've opened up my Webster's, I see that my dictionary gives the same definition.
Incredible. I am one lazy American.
Guess I was hoping it was UK slang for kinky.
Ah, well.
(gotta go change my description on my blogroll for you now.)

LOL I love twaddle too.
I find Apostolic too scary - too high church. Plinth?!!! I wonder what level your mind is at Jo? That's cos I think of kitchen unit plinths rather than great marble edifices for statues! And laminate? Have you just done up your kitchen?!
Cool Writermom! I didn't realise you had done the description thingy. They are like a secret treat to read :-)
Now about the kinky thing.... I am honoured. Thank you, thank you! :-)
Ha-ha!
