Trope and Word #15

Metaphor is exactly right. 5 points to Tammy! 1 to Hope for an amusing and appealing sentence!

Word #15: kerfuffle

BTW, Georgia has a neat grammar and usage book and has threatened to contribute some words, mostly to embarrass me, which it will! But I would love if you all were to propose some words, too.

    Does kerfuffle mean to confuse?

    Palin tends to kerfullfe her critics by using words outside of their normal literal definition.

    Kerfuffle? I thought it was kerfluffle all these years! (That was a purposely pretentious comment).

    What's all the kerfuffle about? It's just an election. Congress has all the power anyway.

    To get ones feather ruffled.

    I'd say I'm on the right path but somehow don't think I've nailed this one.
