My word for the day is waffle. This word is both a noun and a verb, but they are completely different!The noun refers to a delicious breakfast pastry, which is kind of like a thick pancake, except that it's cooked in a special iron device. It's served hot with (usually) butter and maple syrup, although you can often have it with fruit and whipped cream. I have to admit that I really like waffles! When made properly, they're kind of crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Mmmmm.
The verb refers to decision making. To waffle is to be indecisive about something, and to move back and forth between opinions, generally when trying to decide between two options. You might waffle on which sofa to by, or whether this is the right time to get married. When asked about your decision, you could say "I'm still waffling," meaning that you were still thinking about the choices. Some people think it's bad to waffle, others think that it's good because it gives you time to make the right decision. I think it depends on the situation. When the building is on fire, waffling is probably not good. But with big life decisions, some waffling is probably just right.
Sincerely I never eat one waffle,probably because I don't like very much the sweet things but I like a lot the smell of waffle and probably now is the moment to taste one.
ReplyDeleteAbout the verb in my home, my husband and my son waffle all time and sometimes I feel very nervous.
Yeah, I know what you mean about waffling. It makes me nervous too. Especially about small things like where to have dinner or what to do on Saturday...
