Did you know?
Combining the letters "f" and "l" (and often "d" or "m") is a great formula for creating funny words — take "folderol," "fiddlesticks," "fandangle," "flubdub," "flummox," and "flimflam." To ascribe pedigreed origins to any of those silly syllables would be fiddle-faddle. "Flapdoodle" certainly can't claim high-flown ancestors. Like many of its nonsensical fellows listed above, it most likely originated as an alteration of some other absurd word ("fadoodle" is a candidate), but its exact origins are unknown. What we do know is that it first appeared in English in 1878. Six years later, Mark Twain employed the word in Huckleberry Finn, with narrator Huck describing a king's speech at a funeral as "all full of tears and flapdoodle."

My sentence:If we can avoid all the flapdoodle that comes with mixing a group of people like this together, everything should be copacetic.
