: Recently Stuart
Taylor used "flapdoodle" to describe the views of William Saffire, who objects
to
: the Total Information Awareness Project. Any ideas about the origin of
"flapdoodle"?
Hey, William Safire is one of my idols. What is the "Total Information Awareness Project" anyway?
FLAPDOODLE - 1. an imaginary food of fools, nonsense. 2. mischief From the "Dictionary of American Regional English," Volume 2 by Frederic G. Cassidy (1985, Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, Cambridge, Mass., and London, England).
