Choose Your Halloween Costumes Wisely
This costume has the distinct disadvantage of being a permanent tattoo. It is too bare for chilly trick-or-treating. And people are likely to say, "gross," instead of running away screaming. Notice how much more effective at producing abject terror a simple banana costume is instead.
Kerfuffler, or however it's spelled (is it Yiddish?) you have outdone yourself. I hereby give you an honorary PHD in Blogging by order of the Great and Powerful Oz. (or some other word that is high scoring in scrabble.)
Kerfuffle (according to Websters): Etymology: alteration of carfuffle, from Scots car- (probably from Scottish Gaelic cearr wrong, awkward) + fuffle to become disheveled chiefly British : disturbance , fuss
I confess to typically making a big fuss over nothing, causing a disturbance for no apparent reason, and enjoying it all the more for it's sheer cussedness. I am, in short, one who causes a Kerfuffle: so, I'm a kerfuffler. (Yiddish only wishes it could claim this choice Scots term!)
