As a children’s book author, I love to make up words. But the English language has a nice selection of wacky words already. Here are some of my favorites and their meanings. See if you can use at least one of these words tomorrow.

Cockamamie – ridiculous, nonsense
Discombobulate – confuse, frustrate, mess up
Flabbergast - astound
Gobbledygook – jargon, hard to understand language
Gobsmacked – shocked, flabbergasted
Hornswoggle – cheat, swindle
Jabberwocky – meaningless words (kind of like gobbledygook, I guess)
Lederhosen – leather shorts with suspenders
Persnickety – particular, fussy in a snobby way (I have a friend like this, but he gets flabbergasted when I tell him so!)
Scallywag – mischievous person
