I love it when Wednesdays come around and I can have some fun with a wacky, weird or wonderful word. Today I have chosen a word that I love the sound of, as it has rather an onomatopoeic quality to it. Sadly though, it is not used nearly enough so let’s dig it up and give it a whirl!
Piffle. This is a word for people that talk a load of bull! Those that prattle about poppycock, jabber utter gibberish, babble lots of balderdash, and drone endlessly about drivel!
It is hogwash and hot air. futile and foolish, just the kind of random rubbish, a slimy salesman might use to try and flog you a pig in a poke!
Actually, this word could be legitimately used to describe this pathetic post!

Your posts are always wondrous! xxx

What piffle you talk! the post is perfect!
Piffle could have gone with ‘Gab’
To ‘lock’ the Haiku down
But we both nailed it in the end
Though they made us frown

and it is so close to pizzle which is my current fav word. Dictionary definition is: (n) the penis of an animal, especially a bull, formerly used for flogging people; but the urban dic meaning is: (v) the state you find yourself in when someone prefers to answer their mobile device rather than continue their conversation with you, a mix of being pissed off and puzzled.

Ha Ha! Oh that is brilliant! I love both of those definitions, but the first one had got to be my favourite, It certainly conjures up quite an image!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
