How to use "Twaddle" in context?
A twaddle is a pompous or ridiculous statement, especially one made in an attempt to impress or entertain. The term can refer to any type of speech or written work, but is most often associated with ornate or pretentious language.
The word first appeared in print in the 1700s, and is derived from the Dutch word tweeken, meaning to tinkle or jingle. It initially referred to the sound made by a bell when it is rung, but later came to be used more generally to describe any kind of clattering or pompous speech.
