Word to the Wise: Folderol

"Folderol" (FAHL-duh-rahl) is nonsense - foolish talk or a useless trinket.

Example (as used by Walter Bobbie in the lyrics for Guys and Dolls): "When you meet a mug lately out of the jug / And he’s still lifting platinum folderol / Call it hell, call it heaven / But it’s probable twelve to seven / That the guy’s only doing it for some doll."

Michael Masterson
