Re: SOME OF THE BEST WORDS EVER

I was flabbergasted that the whippersnapper bamboozled me out of twenty bucks! How dare they do that to me. 🤣 Love these words. I use the word travesty a lot, but it’s not as fun as this list.

Re: SOME OF THE BEST WORDS EVER

The nincompoop over there has me on tenterhooks!

 

That thingamajig on QVC has me flummoxed.

 

That young whippersnapper over there is a real flibbertijigibbet. He better skedaddle or he'll cause a big brouhaha.

 

These are fun!  Thanks @Tinkrbl44 !  At least I now know how to spell these words.

What a timely post!  I can't believe this!  I'm watching Lawrence Zarian on the Q right now with Amy Stran and he just used the word CATTYWAMPUS!!!


In fact, he said it several times because Amy kept asking him to repeat it and what it means!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In "The Sound of Music" song 

"How do you solve a problem like Maria?"

She is described like this

"Maria was not the flibbertigibbet or will-o'-the-wisp depicted in (How Do You Solve a Problem Like) Maria; she was, rather, the sterner of the two von Trapp parents".

The article from "The Irish Times" explains the REAL Maria!

Re: SOME OF THE BEST WORDS EVER

I was about to skedaddle from the forum when I saw this post but then I thought this is Poppycock because I don't see another popular word we used back in the day  "Dagnabit" ! Woman LOL
