Ye Olde School Vocabulary:
Foozle - Do clumsily, bungle, make a mess of. Etymology: perhaps from German dialect fuseln to work carelessly
First Known Use: 1888
Maffick - To exult riotously; to celebrate with boisterous rejoicing and hilarious behavior. Etymology: "to celebrate boisterously," 1900, from Mafficking, a nonce-verb formed punningly from Mafeking, British garrison town in South Africa whose relief on May 17, 1900, during the Boer War, was celebrated wildly in London. OED reports the word "confined to journalistic use." By now it might as well write, "confined to dictionaries." The place name (properly Mafikeng) is from Tswana and is said to mean "place of rocks," from mafika, plural of lefika "rock, cliff" + -eng "place of."
Brabble - Paltry, noisy quarrel. Etymology: perhaps from Middle Dutch brabbelen, of imitative origin
First Known Use: circa 1530
Goluptious - Delightful, luscious; splendid, magnificent

Ye Olde Vocabulary List:
1. argle (verb): to argue obstinately. Etymology: 1580’s from argue, perhaps by influence of haggle. Reduplicated form argle-bargle (sometimes argy-bargy) "wrangling" is attested from 1872.
2. bloviate (verb): to speak pompously or brag. Etymology: 1857, American English, a Midwestern word for "to talk aimlessly and boastingly; to indulge in 'high falutin'," according to Farmer (1890), who seems to have been the only British lexicographer to notice it. He says it was based on blow (v.) on the model of deviate, etc.
3. blunderbuss (noun): a gun with a flared muzzle or disorganized activity. Etymology: 1650s, from Dutch donderbus, from donder "thunder" (Middle Dutch doner, donder, from Proto-Germanic *thunaraz; see thunder (n.)) + bus "gun" (originally "box, tube"); altered by resemblance to blunder.
4. borborygm (noun): a rumbling of the stomach. Etymology: also borborygmus, 17c., from Latin borborigmus, from Greek borborygmos, from borboryzein "to have a rumbling in the bowels," imitative.
5. boustrophedon (noun): a back and forth pattern. Etymology: 1783, ancient form of writing with lines alternately written left-to-right and right-to-left, from Greek, literally "turning as an ox in plowing," from bous "ox".
6. cockamamie (adjective): absurd, outlandish. Etymology: American English slang word attested by 1946, popularized c.1960, but said to be New York City children's slang from mid-1920s; perhaps an alteration of decalcomania.
7. dudgeon (noun): a bad mood, a huff. Etymology: 1570s, duggin, of unknown origin. One suggestion is Italian aduggiare "to overshadow," giving it the same sense development as umbrage. No clear connection to earlier dudgeon (late 14c.), a kind of wood used for knife handles, which is perhaps from a French word.
8. eructation (noun): a burp, belch. Etymology: "belching," 1530s, from Latin eructationem (nominative eructatio) "a belching forth," noun of action from pp. stem of eructare "to belch forth, vomit," from ex- "out" + ructare "to belch," from reug- "to belch" (cf. Lithuanian rugiu "to belch," Greek eryge, Armenian orcam), probably of imitative origin. Related: Eruct; eructate.
9. fardel (noun): a bundle, burden. Etymology: c.1300, from Old French fardel (13c., Modern French fardeau) "parcel, package, small pack," diminutive of farde, perhaps from Arabic fardah "package."
10. hobbledehoy (noun): a clumsy or awkward youth. Etymology: 1530s, of uncertain origin and the subject of much discussion. First element is probably hob in its sense of "clown, prankster" (see hobgoblin), the second element perhaps is Middle French de haye "worthless, untamed, wild," literally "of the hedge."
