Kerfuffle: disturbance; a disorderly outburst or tumult.
It’s one of my favourites: Such a lovely sound, so much fun to pronounce — and the sound is quite evocative of the word.

It refers to a sit down with a group of close friends to share stories over coffee or another favorite beverage. I love doing the aforementioned and I just love the word.

It’s such a versatile word. I think I first became aware of it reading those old, yellow-bound Nancy Drew books as a child. I was the youngest of seven children, with three boys directly preceding me in the lineup. Nancy was keen and fresh and optimistic — an entirely wonderful world to escape to as a young girl at the time. I now find the word familiar and comforting in its simplicity. And it has a nice ring to it.

Swahili for traffic roundabout. I love it for the origin (Keep Left signs placed by the Colonial authorities) and the way it has become Africanized. There is a class of words (Ki is singular, Vi is plural) that fits and Swahili always adds a vowel at the end.
