Such as balderdash, hullabaloo, thingamabob, doohickey, whatchamacallit... What words do you hope to see perpetuated into the future and not lost in the past? And did your word(s) stump your spell check, if it is on? So far, the words I put were known by the checker.

What about 'shenanigan'? Is that considered to be a silly word??

I think so! Just thought of hootenanny.

That's a cool word! Had to look it up, though it did sound familiar. Here's another one: lickety-split

Yeah, that's one! How about rigmarole? I thought it was rigamarole but spell checker says that's too many A's.

That's one useful word!! Ok here's one that I rarely hear people use: Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
The definition is so simple (unlike the word)

How about diddly-squat.

I think I like that word a lot

Flibbertigibbet. Was this word in Charlotte's Web?

Ah that reminds me of 'flabbergasted'!

I like the way flibbertigibbet sounds

I don't think it was in Charlotte's web…but I don't know for sure. I'll have to look

Here's another that sounds funny: Flapdoodle

Hahaha! I had to look that one up. Made me think labradoodle. Surprisingly, flapdoodle has nothing to do with dogs.

I know right? I love this thread. Words are really interesting to me, especially silly ones like these all

I used to watch my dad fixing lots of things, .. a hoosits is another essential 'part' name.

THis is really fun. (And I think one can tell from some of the other threads I watch that we're suffering some mass 'cabin fever' and need the silly diversion)

I usually say doodley squat. Then there's brouhaha, which is an actual real word! How about piss ant?

I worked in a furniture store for 3 yrs and only once did someone come in asking to see the davenports (couch, sofa.)

And we didn't have any chifferobes because they were all labeled armoires.

Chifferobe and armoire are not known to the spell check in my browser. Also tried chiffArobe and chiffOrobe since there doesn't seem to be a consensus on the spelling of that. All are underlined. (Test was done with all lower-case letters, not as shown.)

Gimcrack. Applicable to lots of things lately.

Great addition! Had to look that up too.
