I use all but one. If you know and use most and/or you can guess which one I don't use, I tip my cap to you. (My answer will appear somewhat below the next photo.)

The only word that I don't use cattywumpus, but maybe I should try
How did you do?
Lollygag and Cattywampus
ReplyDeleteFat fingers grr
DeleteI’ve no idea what Cattywumpus means😊. Lollygag isn’t a word I use either
Kerfufulle, Malarkey. I use Cattywumpus a lot when something is out of balance.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember using most of these, but I never said brouhaha for sure. The rest are quite likely if needed. Thanks for tipping your hat to us (Sue?) in your bright colors!
ReplyDeleteI have used all of them but not regularly. I'd tip my hat right back at you, but I wear a hat even more rarely than I use those words!
ReplyDeleteI think I've used all of them, some more than others. Do you not use brouhaha? That's the one that's rare for me. I don't wear hats but you look great in them!
ReplyDeleteNot sure I use them all but for sure I don't use cattywampus.
ReplyDeleteYour blog still doesn't refresh on my blog list. Maybe I need to delete it and load again.
Well, delete worked for An English Girl Rambles but not for yours. Will try again.
DeleteHa, I guessed skedaddle, but they're all pleasantly rousing options I need to use more often.
ReplyDeleteHah! I too use all of them (sans cattywampus) just like you do. And, if fact I use the others fairly regularly. I have a tendency to really like “different” words, and really like the nuanced differences words impart. I have always liked using “less commonly” used words. One example from this morning was my use of the word “Davenport” as a word that is a synonym for a “couch”.

I confess, I've used most, if not all, of them and some very recently -- like within the past few days!
ReplyDeleteI have used some of them but rarely.
ReplyDeleteI probably haven't used kerfluffle in an actual conversation but I've used all the rest, especially cattywampus. It takes phrases of other words to replace what you can say with the single word cattywampus.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. I knew some, but not all.
ReplyDeleteI’m not going to say that I use them all regularly, but I do use them all when warranted. I use cattywumpus semi-regularly, but I think I need to use nincompoop more often. There are definitely people deserving of the title!
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention, I heard the term ‘fisticuffs’ recently, and it was so absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteI too use most of these now and then. I'm especially fond of brouhaha, as used years ago by The Firesign Theatre, Q: What's all this brouhaha? A: Brouhaha? Ha ha ha!

ReplyDeleteActually, they don't sound unusual anymore because of Netflix. I use "shitfuckery" too
ReplyDeleteI have heard these words most of my life but I haven't used them as of late.
ReplyDeleteI use about six of those words but not often in speech, mostly they are included in the stories I write.
ReplyDeleteI am familiar with most of these expressions but I don't think I use any of the.
ReplyDeleteI use several of those. "Bamboozled" and "shenanigans" are just ordinary words, not unusual. I wouldn't use "cattywumpus" because I don't know what it means, and I'm not too sure about "lollygag" (to gag somebody with a lollypop?).
ReplyDelete"Nincompoop" has a noble origin, derived from the Latin non compos mentis.
Lollygag is to waste time (doing anything except what you are supposed to be doing), being aimless, doing things slowly and lazily, for instance I spend a lot of time lollygagging at the laptop instead of sweeping my floors etc
DeleteI use all but cattywampus. Otherwise I use all of them, some occasionally, others more often.
ReplyDeleteI know most of them but I only used Bamboozled, shenanigans, flabbergasted and discombobulated.
ReplyDeleteI use cattywumpus all the time because two-time Indianapolis winner and long time TV racing announcer Bobby Unser used to use it in his broadcasts and it sounded cool.
ReplyDeleteI (amazingly) guess your unused word. I use discombobulated fairly often.
ReplyDeleteI use them occasionally, especially shenanigans and kerfuffle!
ReplyDeleteI use them all, to my great shame. My Dad was a great wielder of Cattywampus, and my sibs and i loved to say it. Skedaddle is also a fun word to say.
