Word for the day ...

[Henny Penny]

... just came across what must be the best word I've found for ages ... Hugger-Mugger ... meaning 'a disorderly jumble'. Just thought I would share it ... now to find a sentence to put it in!

 

[ClubMan]

'a disorderly jumble'.

Isn't that a tautology? I mean, what is an "orderly jumble"?

 

[Oilean Beag]

I love the word pernickity. Not sure if I am spelling it correctly

 

[ClubMan]

No. You're not.

 

[Thirsty]

Hm....my mother would have used hugger-mugger to mean people who were in cahoots (now there's a word I love!)

 

[Oilean Beag]

Would never have guessed there was an 's' in it.

Hm....my mother would have used hugger-mugger to mean people who were in cahoots (now there's a word I love!)

What has a disorderly jumble got to do with secret plotting?

 

[gearoidmm]

I think he just wanted to say cahoots - probably waiting for the opportunity for years. I'm lugubrious just thinking about it.

 

[daithi]

me, I'm competely flabbergasted, and not a little discombobulated..
