What, if anything, does it mean when you wake up before 6 a.m. on a Saturday morning, with the word, "kerfuffle" in your mind, wondering if it's real or something you made up?
Turns out it's real. Hear's the definition from Merriam-Webster:
Pronunciation: k&r-'f&-f&lWhy are things feeling more and more Seussian in my life? Curious? Odd?
Function: noun
Etymology: alteration of carfuffle, from Scots car- (probably from Scottish Gaelic cearr wrong, awkward) + fuffle to become disheveled
chiefly British : DISTURBANCE, FUSS
