new word of the day
 
Thank you Douglas for choosing my definitionBig smile/

I offer you a new word to define. Please let your associations flow freely with this one. I would be more than happy to see new people try the game so for all of you unfamiliar with the rules: The idea is to give a nonsensical definition. It can be silly, funny, wise, anything, just not the real definition!

So here is the new word:

TARADIDDLE
   (alternative spelling: tarradiddle)

Have fun! I �ll choose a winner as soon as we �ve got a nice selection of definitions.

Tara, or T-ara, is an all-girl Kpop group. The word "diddle" means to cheat or swindle. The word taradiddle was coined when the group was exposed as a bunch of lip-synching middle-aged cross-dressers.

It sounds to me a different version of " Happy " by Pharrell Williams . You sing Taradiddle , taradiddle ... why not if you �re happy ???

You might look for a TAR-and-Feather plot in a western-play with A DIDDLE puppet as the bad cow-boy ?
