Word of the Week: flapdoodle
Good morning, Word Nerds! (Wear that badge with honor, gang!) 😀
Last week’s Word of the Week (WOW) was mythomania. A LOT of you had guesses about this one and it was fun to read what you thought about it. Some of you were even using it in a sentence on social media or winking at me in person as you used it. I LOVE THAT! Keep it up! So let’s see how close we got on all those guesses.
Merriam-Webster Online says that mythomania is: an excessive or abnormal propensity for lying and exaggerating. So, most of us got this one right and I stand by my 2nd guess from last week. If that isn’t mythomania, I don’t know what is! Go here if you’re forgetting my 2nd guess.
Today’s WOW is flapdoodle. Here are my guesses for flapdoodle:
flapdoodle (ˈflap-ˌdü-dəl) 1. an ancient arm tattoo on an AARP member 2. the drawing fighter pilots put on their planes in WWII 3. the ruckus a poodle makes when not content

Good guess. Cuz that’s what it sounds like to me!
