J is for Jiffle
Here I am, just in time to bring you another vocabulary word!
Today's word is: JIFFLE
Jiffle is defined as follows: to move restlessly
It kind of sounds like it would mean that, so in this case, I think it makes sense.
Reasons to know this word:
-If you're writing and trying to convey someone's discomfort, you can only use the same old words so many times. You can always try to amuse and enlighten your readers with this gem of a word.
-If you had this combination of letters during a Scrabble game, you could go for the obvious word "life", try to get away with using the name "Jeff", or impress your friends with "jiffle." For this example, we'll just pretend the missing 7th letter is X or something just as difficult to use.

Yes it does sound like what it describes so does this mean it's onomatopoeic? Lovely to meet via the Challenge :) Special Teaching at Pempi’s Palace
