tarradiddle

\tair-uh-DID-uhl\,

noun:

1. A petty falsehood; a fib.

2. Pretentious nonsense.

In an ever increasing attempt to enlarge my vocabulary, every day I receive a new word and definition from Dictionary.com.

For some reason, I really liked today's word: "tarradiddle".

So many of the words that arrive in my email inbox are familiar to me...but, today's was different.

I have never heard of nor used tarradiddle.

Have you?

And, who said that blogging wasn't educational????????
