i picked "tomfoolery" but i also really do like "pandiculation."
i learned about that one in a song i love, by one of my favorite people WHO I RECOMMEND PEOPLE LISTEN TO MUSIC BY (look, it's a recommendation! i was on topic the whole time):
Favorite Book: Heavy by Kiese Laymon. Changed me to my every cell. Also, Thrust by Lidia Yuknavitch. Dang, what a weird and wild and gorgeous novel. And Negative Space by Lilly Dancyger--such a tender, thoughtful, wise exploration of her relationship with her father who died far too young.
