Word of the day

Today's word is TARADIDDLE.

Taradiddle [tair-uh-DID-ul] noun:

1: a trivial or childish lie: fib

2: pretentious nonsense

Example:
We all do it, every parent is guilty of it. We tell our precious little angels taradiddles. Sure we do, we tell them there's a Santa, a Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny, the Boogie Man, we as adults sometimes wish they were real but they're just fibs that all should have the joy of believing in for a few years.

Did you know?
The true origin of "taradiddle" is unknown, but that doesn't mean you won't encounter a lot of balderdash about its history. Some folks try to connect it to the verb "diddle" (meaning "to cheat"), but that hasn’t been proven and may turn out to be poppycock. You may hear some tommyrot about it coming from the Old English verb "didrian," which meant "to deceive," but that couldn’t be true unless "didrian" was somehow suddenly revived after eight or nine centuries of disuse. No one even knows when "taradiddle" was first used. It must have been long before it showed up in a 1796 dictionary of colloquial speech (where it was defined as a synonym of "fib"), but if we claimed we knew who said it first, we’d be dishing out pure applesauce.

Haha this is a great word! Yup was suppose to be down at a local bar in support of the roller derby league tonight but I let my team captain know I have set obligations at Thursday nights most of the time so wouldn't make it, she was ok with it. Got a ton of stuff going on this weekend. Sorta exciting and fun! Just did my taxes with the free online turbo thing. I'm getting back way more than I thought cuz they let me file HOH this year for some reason. I think its cuz last year I filed as single instead of divorced...maybe...but yeah I'm super stoked! I have a few things I really need to take care of and get and then save some for my trip to see my folks this coming summer. Hope y'all had a great day
