Saw a post about fun words

Last edited Thu Jul 24, 2025, 05:13 PM - Edit history (1)

like bamboozle, shenanigans, malarkey, cattywampus, doohickey, whippersnapper, lollygagging, poppycock, canoodle, cattywampus, dingleberry, flabbergasted, gobsmacked, gobbledygook etc. The OP challenged people to use 2 or 3 of these words in a sentence.

This was mine: I am flabbergasted by the amount of malarkey some dingleberries choose to believe.🤣
