English
Etymology
Pronunciation
Noun
tomfoolery (countable and uncountable; plural tomfooleries)
- Foolish behaviour
- (Cockney rhyming slang) jewellery.
Notes
Ironically enough, the word "jewel" traces its etymology back to Latin "iocus" ('jest, joke') so this Cockney rhyming slang term makes quite a bit of sense.
