A perfectly cromulent list

English: "wug". I love how it means nothing, and it's used because of that, so you can test how children generate grammatical forms without their previous knowledge influencing it:

Portuguese: "traquitana". Dictionary says it is (was) used for a type of horse carriage, but I've always heard it being used for either 1) that old motorcar falling into pieces, or 2) cheap, small things for sale. It sounds funny.

Italian: "zuzzurellone". It's basically "manchild" but not in an insulting way. Ditto, it also sounds funny.

Paraphernalia is another good one

Chicanery!

does "scram" qualify? its one of my favorites. i really hope someone uses it for me one day. I'd be overjoyed

"Now, scram!"

and I'd be giddy like 😊😊 heheheee.

I actually use 4 of these regularly in my work as a rigger.

Cattywampus (catty) is actually a term of art. When you need to hang something between two beams, you connect a peice of steel to each beam and then bring them together where they dangle, making a bridle, to get the point in space where you want your thing to hang. It becomes cattywampus (catty) when your bridal legs arent perpendicular to the beams you are hanging them from - typically because you need to dodge obstacles in the way.

The others I use myself and am trying to get to catch on

A kerfuffle (kerfuff) is a messy or complicated problem that probably takes longer than you want to solve. For example, if you drop your rope in but it gets tangled in a bridal 20' below the beams, it's a kerfuffle, and your rope is kerfuffed

Shenanigans (shenan) unconventional, creative, and often somewhat unkosher or uncomfortable things you do to solve problems - often how you solve a kerfuffle. If you are straight pulling a motor chain, but then run out of chain right at the top and then tie a foot loop on the rope so you can step off the beam, pull the motor itself into the air, and make the point while you balance/dangle from the foot loop, then that is some shenan.

Bamboozled is when you spend a bunch of time and effort doing something, only to be told that someone else was wrong about something and you need to re-do all your work.

I used "kerfuffle" at a meeting at work the other week and it's gotten to be quite popular.

Preposterous!
Inconceivable!
I'm positively miffed!

my friends and I used to deliberately use it incorrectly as a synonym for recalcitrant
