Originally I’d planned on running this post yesterday, but things got a little busy and time slipped through my fingers. I apologize for any sleepless nights, or index finger twitches, that were caused by hovering over ‘Search’ buttons. ๐
Relief has come, the veil of mystique has been pulled away.
Everyone, take a deep breathe and prepare yourselves to be dazzled!

Oh, alright, here’s the answers . . . I know you’ve got things to do.
Bumfuzzle:
A: to be confused

Tarradiddle
C: a lie

Sialoquent
B: tendency to spray saliva when speaking

Ratoon
C: small shoots that come from the roots of a plant

There, now you have received a gift, knowledge. I suggest you use this newfound power liberally, whereever you can, or just ransomly insert them into a conversation. Please have your camera ready, for you shall be rewarded with expressions like the one below.

What fun words, Mark. They have a Victorian ring to them. Hugs on the wing!

What a fun post, Mark. I got bumfuzzle right, and tarradiddle has such a powerful meaning for such a fun word to say. ๐ Thanks for the knowledge; I’ve tucked it away in a safe place. Have a good day!

Aw man? Bumfuzzle is confused? I was SO getting ready to use it in my western as ‘we made a huge mistake’… dang.
Keep these coming, Mark ๐

It does sound the most logical definition, that’s why I put it in there. ๐ You could probably still use it somewhere.

I know I can easily slip in โRatoonโ with a few people. Unfortunately, spraying saliva not a good thing right now, or at any time. Thank you for my morning smile, Mark.
