Tarradiddle: falsehood, nonsense, fib
There's something about this word that makes me giggle even as I watch the taradiddling that spins itself out on he said, she said TV. It fits so many people and there's no doubt I could be called on it, too, as I fudge, fib or tell a little nonsense if I think it does more good than harm. But I've also reached that age where nobody trusts me to remember, or tell, the truth anyway.
Are you a taradiddler?
And this image has nothing to do with taradiddle, at all. Toward the heart of a brand new Asiatic Lilly, lush red. Although it might not be here. Images have been iffy as has the follow/follwers widget. Tarradiddling?

Oh, yes! I'm definitely a taradiddler and I love the word! How fun for the T Day! Yes, at my age, no one expects me to remember anything either and try to be tolerant -- well, at least my kids try to be tolerant! I'm sure it's harder sometimes than others!! Enjoy the remainder of your week!

What a great word! SO much fun to say. The photo was beautiful too! Thanks.
What a great word!
Delightful word. I'm glad I now know what I am too. Fun post.
I too am having trouble with my follower widget and actually commenting on some blogs. I get into a loop that takes me no where. I sure hope it gets fixed soon.
Blogger has got to stop being a Taradiddler!
Well, if I am, I certainly am not ;-)
love that word. you could make a riddle with it.

I love listening to "taradiddling" but not much good at doing it myself. Wonderful post and hope you have a great week,

That is a totally fun word and a gorgeous image. I'm sure I will have to work the t word into a sentence today, somehow. :)
You treat us every week to a new word! Tarradiddle! It sounds a bit like Tweedledee, and Tweedledum from
"Through the Looking Glass and what Alice found there." If you ask me, there is a lot of tarradiddle on TV and some politicians are real tarradiddlers.
Have a great tarradiddleless week.
Great new word to add to my vocabulary
I love the new word, and I try not to tarradiddle, if I can help it.
I'd forgotten about the word Taradiddle until you mentioned it.
Of course, T is for Tumblewords, Too.

Wonderful word, - and very apt for many people, I'm sure. Including myself!
Taradilling will be my word of the day tomorrow :O)
You 'gilded' the lily too. Beautiful, as always!
What a fun word and it makes me giggle too. Beautiful flower.
Excellent word.
I believe we have more taradiddling going on than we have any other kind of diddling...
Although, come to think of it, there's an awful lot of diddling going on, too...

In some way or the other humans are born tradiddlers :) I love it ;)
Gosh, that word DOES make me giggle too! I think we are all born with the taradiddler trait within us!
I also forgot to include in my post about the on line auction for the Oaxaca Street Children that is about to begin.
Perhaps you will visit my other blog to find out more about it:

A fun word to say. Fairly trips off the tongue.
That's a real funny word, never heard it ! lol !

Tarradiddle... a tremendous T word that could be so useful! And I'd never heard it before. No, I'm not a tarradiddler... I'm more known for calling it as I see it... being provocative... and that is not always welcome either! :-D
In truth, a nice euphemism for a white lie. Taradiddle makes me want to dance
Its always a word I imagine being said by someone from the 17th century, along with forsooth. Pity it is not used so much now, it is such a wonderful word to say.
Lovely lily.
I've heard the word before but don't consciously remember where or what it meant. But it's certainly a good 'T'. Having problems posting some of my comments so I hope this goes through OK.
love that word!!
taradiddler!!
A wonderful word for the meme, but I'm not one.
He he he! What a funny word! Never heard it before! And yes, I think I'm a taradiddler too;o)
Loved the flower shot too!
Thanks for sharing;o)

Hope you are having a nice and happy week****
I love that word - it sounds much more fun than it really is!
I have a new word...yea...Michelle
I definitely taradiddle from time to time. Sounds completely harmless, doesn't it? What fun!
I honestly have never heard of this word before...very interesting! glad to know....:)
What a great word! And I love the photo (that's no taradiddle!)
I hope I'm not a tarradiddler! :)
