    Fluffle was a word inserted into a Wikipedia page as a joke in 2007 by some Canadian students, before rising to Internet popularity. This doesn’t make it “not a word”, but makes some other website’s claims that it’s ‘primarily used in British English’ unlikely.

      My toddler and I came up with our own made-up gathering word, called a “Farty.” It’s like a party. Food, beverages, and gifts are not required, but you must gather people, that owe you a courtesy sniff, into a room to smell your rip.

      When you’re 3yo and you like ridiculous things, it’s hilarious. Mom doesn’t appreciate our genius.
