Piffle !

[Krausse]

Don't you just love that word ?

[Buenchico]

Have you just been reading someone's political manifesto then?

[venator]

I shall use it in any posts I put up tomorrow.

[venator]

Will you use one of my favourites - esoteric?

[marval]

Not many words that rhyme with it though

[Buenchico]

Venator:
How are we meant to notice anything different when you introduce piffle into your posts?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist it!)

[Krausse]

Nonsense ! Utter Nonsense ! Remember Emma ?

[Buenchico]

Skiffle, sniffle, riffle, whiffle, apocryphal . . .

[nungate]

Whiffle? that takes me back to a Lord Peter Wimsey book

Piffle is a good word to use I like it

[venator]

Buenchico - i choose to ignore that scurrilous piffle you just posted.

Piffle is not an esoteric word - It's widely understood,

Etymology Unknown, 1847. Perhaps blend of piddle and trifle, perhaps puff (“(onomatopoeia, puff of air)”) +‎ -le (“diminutive”).[1]

a word like that could be Boris Johnson's middle name.

Piffle was how my grandma used to describe a whist hand with no court cards.

[shooty]

I use it all the time. Piffle and waffle ( utter rubbish in a polite way) : )

[askyourgran]

I used to like spiffing. What spiffing fun old chap!

[boxtops]

[askyourgran]

Twonk was another one.

[flicrat]

The hoi polloi for those who can't pronounce their 'r's, Boxtop?

[Sipowicz]

Schmooze!

[Mosaic]

Balderdash is good.
Bunkum. Hokum. Tarradiddle.
But piffle is undoubtedly good.

[humbersloop]
