The word of the day is kerfaffle. Now, to find it in a dictionary. . . Ah, kerfuffle; causing or being a commotion, disorderly, a state of agitation. Also, carfaffle, kurfuffle, and kerfuffle. Scot origin. None of my dictionaries contains this word. Time for new dictionaries and amazon.com, betterworldbooks.com browsing.
