how it makes me feel:

this one makes me giddy. the suffix '-diddle' gives it a whimsical quality that makes me want to run through the cube farm frolicking in my underwear with no regard for being able to pay the rent. it's also a disarmingly gentle word for lying. i'm actually more into definition #2 - "pretentious nonsense". that alone makes the whole thing worth it. think about it - you know what nonsense is, you know what pretentious means, so how the hell would one identify 'pretentious nonsense'? the first thing that comes to mind is american apparel ads, which certainly are pretentious. just look at them. the whole thing is really designed to make you want to buy overpriced bandannas and gold colored windbreakers while frequently purchasing large quantities of cocaine to fuel the drug addled threesomes with tattooed girls in dive-bar-bathrooms. but is that nonsensical? i think that sounds like a friday night.

booyah!

seriously though. good WOTD, fun phonetics and a definition that you wouldn't associate with the word based solely on the way it sounds. me likey.
