Q . . . Quibble

Once in a while I come across a word that makes me laugh. QUIBBLE is just such a word. Whenever I hear it I think of these . . .

I know. I know. All you Star Trek fans out there are screaming, NOT QUIBBLE you idiot, TRIBBLE.  I do know the difference, but that doesn't mean I can't see those fuzzy little creatures in my mind every time I hear QUIBBLE.

So, what does Quibble really mean?  Here's Websters take on it.


Sorry, didn't mean for this to be a vocabulary lesson. I just like the word. A lot. And for a little fun, try to say all those rhyming words in a row really fast. :-)

Is there a word that makes you laugh? Or maybe one you like because of how it rolls of your tongue?

  2. My first thought was The Quibbler— the magazine from the Harry Potter books.

    And I'm not a Star Trek fan but I have seen that Tribbles episode. It was a lot of fun.

  3. Quibbles over Tribbles.

    Big Trek and Potter fan here!

    I am trying to read all the A to Z blogs, but coming back to the ones I really like.
    Looking forward to seeing what you do all month!

  4. When I was in junior high I was a total Trekkie. I sewed tribbles out of fake fur. :P
