"well! It never needed to be revived for me...it was never dead. I have used piffle & balderdash as long as I can remember...but only when warrented. A sterling word, piffle! Encompassing myriads of etymological nuances within two innocuous syllables; elegantly explicating instances of gratuitous pomposity with one flourish of dismissive disdain!"

I had to see that post again. Bill, it's beautiful.

It also showed me that piffle doesn't rhyme with Tripoli.
