A daddle... yes a daddle...
Sort:
I think I need one for the office too, the way they ride me there.
What will they think of next?

it was never a question of if. it was never a question of when. it was always a question of who. now we know. ;)
Funny that this was a question of when or who and that you can read anything into it this diddle or daddle
understand none of it and feel fine that us english is not my first language

Reduplication, in linguistics, is a morphological process by which the root or stem of a word, or part of it, is repeated.
diddle-daddle; piddle-paddle; flip-flop; fiddle-faddle; tip-top; pop-top

aye, aye Captain! yada, yada and blah, blah, blah (that's triplication... lol!)
What's life without an itty-bitty, teeny-tiny bit of prittle-prattle!
And speaking of blah, blah, blah... here's a Dutch slogan for you -
Eerst bla-bla, dan boem-boem
Wikipedia tells me that is a campaign slogan from Flanders... hmm.
must be a cross between a dad and a saddle=daddle!
Sounds like "dandle".

Yes. It does sound like dandle. I didn't know the word dandle. In the US, dandle doesn't seem to be used much. I did find this poem by Francis Bacon. The word dandle is used... the poem is a rather sad testament of life.
Hey, Writch... I got your Bacon here!!
The Life of Man
| The world's a bubble; and the life of man less than a span. In his conception wretched; from the womb so to the tomb: Curst from the cradle, and brought up to years, with cares and fears. Who then to frail mortality shall trust, But limns the water, or but writes in dust. Yet, since with sorrow here we live oppress'd, what life is best? Courts are but only superficial schools to dandle fools: The rural parts are turn'd into a den of savage men: And where's a city from all vice so free, But may be term'd the worst of all the three?

Hah! Hah! Hah... you say! I give you Francis Bacon and you give me Hah!... I don't know... I just don't know.
It's all I had time for. I'm raising a time-sink and so in the past week all my spare moments And comments have need collapsed into pithy singulaitites. Even now as I write this, a distant crash and cries from He-Who-Must begins yet another entry in this week's Tale of Tears. Now you know.
The other night I was playing Apples to Apples with my husband and my two daughters... they are twenty-somethings... it's pretty entertaining to play games with your adult children... esp something like Apples to Apples. Anyway... not sure how the topic arose but my youngest daughter told my husband he needed a daddle... she proceeded to climb on his back and ride him like a horse. A daddle? What is daddle? Apparently it is a saddle for dads so dad can give horseback rides... too funny. Be sure to get your daddle...
