Flubdubs

/ˈflʌbdʌbz/ noun

Definition

Plural of flubdub; multiple instances of nonsense, humbug, or meaningless talk.

Etymology

Simple plural form of 'flubdub' created by adding '-s'. Maintains the same 19th-century American slang origins as its singular form.

Kelly Says

Flubdubs as a plural is rarely used because singular 'flubdub' is already uncommon, but imagining a room full of flubdubs—piles of meaningless talk—makes the word's sound and meaning click together perfectly.
