I don’t believe I’ve ever encountered such an all-inclusive word!
Gallimaufry (gal-li-maw’-free) n.
A hodgepodge, jumble; a mixture of diverse things. From the French galimafrée, “a stew, hash, ragout,” from galer, “to make merry,” plus “mafrer, “to eat heartily.”
This divine little word has been used to denote everything from a stew of leftover odds and ends from the kitchen, to a collage of art pieces or photographs, a collection of short stories, an assortment of musical pieces, a mismatched and motley crew of folks, and so on … you get the picture.
My crazy quilt closet is a gallimaufry of fabric. What does yours look like:)?
Hey Tommy, thanks for your kind letter and awesome CD. The photo of you in Ireland rocks! My line of organic backpacking food is what started it all, and I am proud to say we are still mixing, packaging, and shipping it out right here on the farm.
I can hardly believe my eyes, but as I shade them with my hand, there’s no denying the brilliant gleam of the wakening sun.
People buying my organic quick-prep meals, in Mylar 15-year-shelf-life packaging, keep my food crew plenty busy. It’s monotonous work, but they never complain. I’d like to express my gratitude, no, make that GRATITUDE, for the excellent mistake-proof job they do, day in and day out, year after year.
