unearths some literary gems.
From Blotto, Twinks and the Bootlegger's Moll, by Simon Brett:
***"Next time you see him, you might suddenly realize you'd just got your mitten-strings tangled, and the flipmadoodles might drop off your eyes and you might realize that you love the old pongler after all."[I believe Blotto uses "flipmadoodles" at least one other time in this book, and if I'm not mistaken he seems to use it indiscriminately in place of whatever word he can't come up with. However, I note that in this instance, it's possibly rather apt, because I imagine the scales that fall from one's eyes might sort of "flip" down, sort of how I imagine blinders being flippable.]***Her much-vaunted brainbox wasn't living up to its vaunts.***
