It was a terrible kerfuffle. Maisie reckoned it was a kerfuffle over nothing, but Ronald’s mother said the kerfuffle was justified. “I’ll make a kerfuffle for as long as I think it’s necessary,” she said.
The Headmaster of the school that Ronald attended agreed with Maisie; it was a kerfuffle about nothing. Ronald’s mother said she disagreed with the Headmaster, and the Headmaster said, “I suppose you’re going to make a kerfuffle over that as well.”
That didn’t stop Ronald’s mother from writing to the Minister of Education. She explained why she was making a kerfuffle and the Minister of Education labelled Ronald’s mother a domestic terrorist.
“Ha! Ha!” laughed the Headmaster. “If you hadn’t made such a kerfuffle it might not have gone kerplunk.”

I think I shall find something today over which to make a kerfuffle.

Lovely word ‘kerfuffle’ – much underused. Glad that your tale makes ammends for this oversight.

I’m wondering now, if your post has caused such a kerfuffle, what a ‘fuffle’ might be – a smaller kerfuffle perhaps?

I noticed – during the extensive research I ALWAYS do on this blog – that “fuffle” was a Scottish word meaning something like dishevelled – and they are nor sure where the ker bit came from!

Over here kerfuffle is probably used more often than brouhaha, but both are used.

I always just raise a ruckus at the school board meetings. I’m too scared to go full on kerfuffle. That’s not a good list to be on.
