Buffoonishness

/bəˈfuːnɪʃnəs/ noun

Definition

The quality or state of being buffoonish; foolishness or absurdity expressed in a humorous or ridiculous way.

Etymology

From 'buffoonish' plus the suffix '-ness' (indicating a state or quality), creating a noun that names the abstract quality of buffoonish behavior.

Kelly Says

This long word is delightfully unwieldy—saying 'buffoonishness' is almost as absurd as the behavior it describes, making the word itself a kind of comedy.
