WORDS FOR WEDNESDAY 02-24-2021

 

Alex J Cavanaugh provided lots of good words for WFW that were found on Elephant Child's blog.  I had to miss the middle two weeks.  Now I am glad to finish February with some of his fun words.  I only used the first six this time.

guacamole

ninja

lollygag

malarkey

skedaddle

piffle

 

TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN' by Granny Annie


Louise often whispered, “Piffle, piffle” while she worked in the kitchen. Usually she was responding to some malarkey she was hearing on the television.

Her grandson Eric wandered into the kitchen dressed in his favorite Ninja costume. He questioned his grandmother about the meaning of the word piffle. Louise told him it means something is just a lot of hooey. "What is hooey" Eric asked next.

Don't bother me Eric”, his grandmother demanded. “I am trying to make this guacamole and don't want you to lollygag in here. Now skedaddle."

Eric ran out of the kitchen to find his his mother and ask why Grandma spoke in a foreign language.

  2. I really, really like your clever use of Alex's difficult words. And, as I said on my blog, I grew up hearing that foreign language and still speak a little myself.
