How long should I wait to switch from tapers to plugs for my gauged ears? I just sized up from a 0 to 00, and I've had the tapers in for about 5 days.
There are some late 20th century alternative meanings, limited to the USA, e.g. 'absurd or ridiculous' and 'to swindle or deceive'. This little phrase is a variant of okay. It is 20th century American and first appears in print in a 1932 edition of American Speech. There are several alternative spellings - okay-doke, okey-doke, okee-doke, etc. In addition to these is the comic version that has brought the phrase back to popular attention in recent years - The Simpson's Ned Flanders' 'okely-dokely'.
The origins of canoodle are obscure. Our best guess is that it may come from an English dialect noun of the same spelling meaning donkey, fool, or foolish lover, which itself may be an alteration of the word noodle, meaning a foolish person.. That noodle, in turn, may come from noddle, a word for the head. The guess seems reasonable given that, since its appearance in the language around the mid-19th century, canoodle has been most often used jocularly for playful public displays of affection by couples who are head over heels in love.
