The Blogging from A-Z Challenge has now arrived at my favourite letter. Yes the letter ‘J.’ This is the letter of my first name, and is rather curvy just like me! It can be jokey, or even jealous, but my word for today has a fantastic ring to it..so without further ado, let me introduce to you……
Jiggery-pokery. Although it is a fun-sounding word, it is actually rather sneaky. It tricks you with its skullduggery and lulls you into its cunning lair.
It is the smiley clown that goes to shake hands with you, and either squirts water out of a fake flower at you, or electrocutes you with a hidden buzzer in his hand!
It is the magician performing a bit of hocus pocus by making his glamorous assistant disappear in a puff of smoke, kind of a word.
Politicians are pretty good at a bit of jiggery-pokery too with their cheesy grins, promising all sorts, yet delivering nothing! A bit like my posts really! 🙂
You are a talent! I’ve never even heard of this word. Well done! 🙂

No, your posts are never jiggery-pokery. I like how it’s upright and confident with a big round bottom… the letter I mean, not you! 🙄

J? I thought your name was Edwina! I’m lost now. Is this your own jiggery pokery trying to confuse me? xx

My name is actually Judy. Edwina is my middle name, When I first started blogging I wrote anonymously so did not want to use my name. Since then, I have ‘revealed myself’ as it were! I don’t mind being called Edwina though, loads of people still call me it 🙂
