Wednesday is here which means it is time to pay tribute to, and celebrate another weird, wacky or wonderful word. Today I have chosen one that, although still used frequently, has a light and fluffy texture to it, that always brings a smile to my face.
Kerfuffle. This word is causing a commotion or creating chaos. It is getting mixed up in the middle of a melee or fighting your way out of a fracas.
Causing a rumpus, starting a scrimmage, or even bickering and brawling, this word likes to get in the thick of the action. It is a free-for-all fight or feud that anyone is welcome to take part in.
This word is the result of a few drinks on a Saturday night in my local town centre!
Well you know if there was a kerfuffle, it was a goon night!!

I like to use “handbags at dawn” as well. Kerfuffle would make a great name for a breakfast cereal made with marshmallows.

‘Handbags at Dawn’ is fantastic, I love that. The marshmallow cereal sounds like it would suit ‘kerfuffle’ very well!!

I like this word too. We have a good equivalent ‘stramash’, often used to describe an inebriated kerfuffle 🙂

I love this word, but I do anticipate a problem with it’s pronunciation once I’ve had a glass of wine – or two.

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.
