Word Of The Day

Today's word of the day is: Shenanigans

noun Informal.

1. Usually, shenanigans.
a. mischief; prankishness: Halloween shenanigans.
b. deceit; trickery.
2. a mischievous or deceitful trick, practice, etc.

I adore the word shenanigans and have been using it a lot lately. Not always appropriately, but I find that even funnier. Just saying the word makes you feel spry. I swear. Try it!

Now please use shenanigans in a sentence. The best sentence will win my undying love and adoration.

  10. I love the word shenanigans! I have to fight myself not to use it in my blog all the time. I think the night time shenanigans in our home are funny. Like when my son is scared of the Brady Bunch, or his sister tells him she loves him more than a rock.

    Okay, a funny sentence...let me think...
    This a note.
    Dear Kristen and Hotrod,
    We think the shenanigans that go on in your house daily are quite amusing.
    Love, The Cats
